Britain's Prostate Cancer Charity welcomed the study, but advised men not to eat more hot chillis.

Head of Policy and Research, Chris Hiley, said: "Eventually, it may be possible to extract the capsaicin and make it available as a drug treatment. In the meantime we caution men with prostate cancer in the UK against upping their weekly intake of the hottest known chillies. High intake of hot chillies has been linked with stomach cancers in the populations of India and Mexico."

They needed a study to figure that one out? Man, scientists will try anything these days to get grant money. :D

Seriously, though, my grandfather died of prostate cancer and my Dad just had surgery on his. I'm hedging all bets on my "equipment".
