Chili peppers aren’t for
the faint of heart, but maybe they should be. Scientists in Italy say the spice
slashes the mortality rate from heart attack and cerebrovascular disease (which
restricts blood flow to the brain and includes strokes and aneurysms).
The study, published in the Journal of the American
College of Cardiology on December 24, included 22,811 Italian men and women,
who reported their chili pepper intake over an 8-year period. At the end of the
study, people who consumed the spice at least four times a week reduced their
risk of dying from a heart attack by 44 percent and from cerebrovascular
disease by 61 percent…..
