Hot News About the Health Benefits of Chilis

If you love chili peppers then sink your teeth into this: It’s well known that chili peppers and their extracts deliver antibacterial, antioxidant, pain-relieving, and anti-inflammatory effects. However, recent research shows that these hot commodities may also provide benefits to diabetics.

According to ARS scientists, a recently discovered compound in peppers may help counter the adverse effects of some diabetes medications. Patients taking some antidiabetic drugs (such as pioglitazone or rosiglitazone) tend to gain weight through increased fat accumulation. But ARS experiments indicate that capsiate, a capsinoid compound found in many commonly consumed peppers, reduces accumulation of fat so it may cancel this adverse effect if taken in combination with the antidiabetic drug.
