The earlier research found consuming chilies has an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer and blood-glucose regulating effect due to capsaicin. It gives chili its characteristic hot taste, the study is the first large scale effort to compare reported consumption of chili with disease mortality.

In order to assess the effects of chili pepper on longevity, researchers screened 4,729 studies from five leading global health databases. These were: Ovid, Cochrane, Medline, Embase and Scopus. These include four large studies which specifically include health outcomes for participants with data on chili pepper consumption.

The researchers also noted that the amount and type of chili pepper consumed was variable among the studies. It was making it difficult to draw conclusions about exactly how much, how often and which type of chili pepper consumption may be associated with health benefits.
