Is it OK if I just continue to eat Datil peppers, or do I need to sit on a bunch of them?

But Koeffler says that men concerned about prostate cancer should not interpret these findings as a reason to up their consumption of hot peppers. He stresses that the compound has not been shown to prevent prostate cancer but instead simply slows its growth. ----

SO WHY NOT eat them any way??

I eat those things at least twice a day. I swear that they are good for many things.

SWAMPSNIPER ....... that might be a little uncomfortable.

Why is it I just can't get the picture of a Habanero suppository out of my mind? Ai chihuahua!!

It's 'prostate', not 'prostrate' (for future reference).

Chile is a pepper.

Chili is a food made with, among other things, chile.

"Chillies" sound like refrigerated underwear for men with low sperm counts. :D

I eat peppers everyday! I'm Cured!.........

The team also found that capsaicin suppressed the growth of human prostate cancer cells by about 80%

I'm not sure I agree with their findings.

If I eat too many chilis, my prostate feels like its on fire and that it's gonna explode!

I guess "prostrate" tumors lie down a lot??

A hot chile a day will keep the ass doctor away.

This might explain why my dad had the inherent need to stage hot chili pepper contests with this navy buddies and his male children. :)
