Legătura dintre consumul de ardei iute și cancer. Ce a descoperit un nou studiu

A recent study indicates that daily consumption of hot peppers may increase the risk of aggressive esophageal cancer due to a natural compound found in them. High intake can negate health benefits and lead to malignant tumors. Capsaicin, the compound responsible for the heat, may cause chronic irritation in tissues, potentially promoting tumor cell development. Participants consuming large amounts of hot peppers are three times more likely to develop esophageal cancer and have a 64% higher risk of other gastrointestinal tumors.
