Burn that cancer out

Reuters AlertNet - Hot pepper kills prostate cancer cells in study

Interesting story on work indicating that eating hot chilli may help stop prostate cancer from progressing.

The obvious question to ask from this is: do men from countries where a lot of chilli is eaten show a lower rate of prostate cancer than countries with a blander diet? (Countries to pick, if they have reliable figures, might be Thailand - or even Singapore - and Ireland on the other side.)
