Are hot peppers actually healthy for you?

I get this question all the time. YES. If you eat with me chances are you're eating something spicy- and that's a good thing! according to fitday.com:

Capsaicin 
Chili, jalapeno, habenero and cayenne peppers all contain a chemical component called capsaicin. This is the compound that causes the burning sensation when coming in contact with mucous membranes. It has also been attributed to:

• killing cancer cells 
• reducing inflammation 
• producing fat oxidation which can aid in weight loss 
• helping with gastric relief 
• preventing sinus infections 
• psoriasis relief
