Is good "hot" food an answer to certain cancers?

Recent studies in the UK seem to show that there are properties in chillies that may actually help to prevent some cancer cells from growing and reproducing.

Some of the content of this article includes the following:

Scientists have discovered the key to the ability of spicy foods to kill cancer cells.

They found capsaicin, an ingredient of jalapeno peppers, triggers cancer cell death by attacking mitochondria - the cells' energy-generating boiler rooms.

The research raises the possibility that other cancer drugs could be developed to target mitochondria.

The Nottingham University study features in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications.

The study showed that the family of molecules to which capsaicin belongs, the vanilloids, bind to proteins in the cancer cell mitochondria to trigger apoptosis, or cell death, without harming surrounding healthy cells.

Now all I have to do is to be able to figure out how, with some of your stomach and most of your oesophagus removed how it is possible to actually ingest the drug. When you eat hot food the after effects on various parts of the anatomy would clearly make this difficult.

Anyone out there with any suggestions?
