Can chili peppers help in the fight against obesity? Scientists have found that capsaicin, the constituent of chili peppers that causes a burning sensation in tissue that it comes into contact with, suppresses fat buildup. Studies suggest that capsaicin may help to lower calorie intake, reduce fat tissue and decrease blood-fat levels.
Capsaicin in chili peppers reduces fat buildup by causing changes in fat proteins. These changes promote fat breakdown by the altered proteins. The researchers are hopeful that information gained from the study of the effects of capsaicin on fat will result in the development of new treatments for obesity. Obesity is a serious health concern as it is linked to other health problems such as diabetes and heart disease.
