Red Chili Pepper Health Benefits
What can Red Chili Pepper do for you?
- Reduce blood cholesterol

And, studies have shown that red chili pepper can help stop the spread of prostate cancer. A study published in 2006 attributes the positive result to capsaicin, the component that creates the peppers' heat and pungence.
Capsaicin itself is being studied as a treatment for pain associated with arthritis, psoriasis, and diabetic neuropathy.
Another 2006 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that if a meal contains chili pepper, it reduces the amount of insulin required to lower blood sugar after the meal. Further, when chili is a regular part of the diet, insulin requirements are reduced even further.
