   results of a study showing that [2]capsaicin, the chemical that makes
   peppers hot, [3]can cause prostate cancer cells to kill themselves.
   'Capsaicin led 80 percent of human prostate cancer cells growing in
   mice to commit suicide in a process known as apoptosis, the
   researchers said.' This led to tumors one fifth the size of those in
   untreated mice."
