Chili Pepper Consumption and Mortality in Italian Adults
- Kaibeezy 6y ago15% reduction in mortality among the chili eaters? Do I read that correctly?
- commonturtle 6y agoNow I have a good excuse for all the spicy food I eat :) But seriously, sample size seems small, only ~1200 across chill eaters and non-eaters. Effect size seems pretty small too from the graphs at the end of the article. Given the current reputation of nutrition science I suspect the result is just noise.
- Normille 6y agoAs a long-term chili addict, I'm pleased to see yet another piece of medical research back up its health benefits. But four times a week = "high" intake. Pah! --that's me on an abstemious week!
