What is the capsaicin content of 50 grams of "chili"? What is the scoville measurment of these chilis?
This is totally absurd.
Those who are more chili were more active and had a lower BMI? I'm considered overweight and eat crazy amounts of spicy things. Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me.
- blacksmith_tb 7y agoYes, even the study says as much, for example: "In our study, there was a significant difference in chili intake among people with different education levels. Therefore, it is possible that the confounding effect of education may still contribute to the relationship between chili intake and cognitive function." So it's equally possible they discovered that poor people eat more spicy food than rich people in China... If there actually is a causal relationship, we would expect to see much higher rates of dementia in India or Mexico, which doesn't seem to be the case.

It'd be surprising if that wasn't true, since spicy food is a very regional phenomenon. There are two provinces known for spicy food: Hunan and Sichuan. If an American study demonstrated that eating Cajun food spiked your odds of being poor, what would that mean?
