I always prefer spicy food and like it. People generally keep themselves away from spicy foods because they think it is good for health, but before getting on that conclusion please be aware that Spicy food ofcourse protects you from the many Illness including CANCER. Researches have concluded that a daily diet rich in spices may offer proctection against cancer and other illness. This may be reason why Indians & Mexicans suffer lower cases of cancers. Scientists says that a chemical called Capsaicin present in spices holds the key to the next generation of anti-cancer drugs. Capsaicin can kill the cancer cells by directly targeting their energy source. So people could control the onset of cancer by eating a diet rich in capsaicin. That"s the reason why cases of cancers are prevalent in Western World than Indians and Mexicans who traditionally eat a diet that is very spicy. So just start to have spicy foods and enjoy life..
