Cayenne is also known as Cayenne Pepper, a red, hot chili pepper,
belonging to Capsicum annuum, the family Solanaceae, native to
sub-tropical and tropical regions. It has been used in traditional
medicine to increases metabolism, enhance circulatory system and
stomach and the intestinal tract, adjust blood pressure, lower LDL
cholesterol and triglycerides, treat frostbite, muscles, arthritis,
rheumatism, low back pain, strains, sprains, bruises and neuralgia, etc.
Breast cancer (malignant breast neoplasm) is a cancer that starts in the tissues of the breast either from the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that
supply the ducts with milk. there is also rare cases that breast cancer
starts in other areas of the breast. In 2010, over 250,000 new cases of
breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S. alone
and the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during life time of a
women is 1/8.
Ingredients
The chemical constituents of Cayenne include capsaicin, capsacutin oil, solaine, xanthenes, oleic acid, palmitic acid, etc.
The benefits
Capsaicin found in red peppers of the genus Capsicum
has been effectively exerting its biological activities
(anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic and chemopreventive) in many cancer
cell lines.
In breast cancer cell line MCF-7, treatment with capsaicin
for 24 h resulted cells apoptosis in dose dependent manner through a
caspase-independent pathway, which plays an important role in ensuring the effective removal of defective cells(5) MCF-7 cells. Other, in the study of the
same showed that Capsaicin extract induced significant growth
arrest and apoptosis in human breast and leukemia cancer cell lines in vitro with no significant effect on normal breast epithelial cells. These result suggested cayenne may be a potential agent in treating breast cancer.
The Side Effects
1. It may cause allergic reaction in young children
2. It may also cause hypertensive response if overdosed.
3. It may promote symptoms of acute anal fissure.
4. It may cause burning sensation to certain people in the first taste
5. Do not use cayenne pepper in young children
6. Etc.
