Well, as a sedentary spicy fan, this bodes ill. Lol.
Weird, we just saw a paper that showed spicy food negatively correlated with colon cancer.
āSubgroup analyses showed that the association between a high level of spiciness in food and a lower memory ( āā0.254, pā<ā0.001) and global score ( āā0.222, pā=ā0.002) was present only in older adults with low physical activity, but not in older adults with high physical activity.ā
TLDR: Move your body
> In contrast, a 15-year longitudinal, population-based cohort study found that **consuming more spicy food was positively associated with lower cognitive scores,** as measured by the global cognitive score and self-reported memory loss9. Additionally, preclinical studies have demonstrated that **high capsaicin intake is associated with a neuronal, glutamate excitotoxic effect** and an analgesic effect mediated via denervation of sensory nerves
šæšæšæ
I guess you also have to work out if you want to eat spicy.
Well, Iām fucked.
This is in no way a scientific study. There is zero way to measure diet impact on individuals or community outside of speculation. We can’t isolate people and force them to only consume spicy food for years. This is strongly a correlation is not causation

This indicates the opposite
Iām gonna sweat till I die, or go stupid. Either way this only means I gotta pump my numbers up
Correlation ā causation
I don’t plan to make it that long so thankfully doesn’t apply to me lol
