研究：吃辣椒可降低死于心脏病和中风的风险

英国阿斯顿医学院的注册营养师和高级特任讲师杜安·梅勒说，这篇论文“很有趣”，但没有指明吃辣椒和健康之间的“因果关系”。

Mellor said the positive effect of chili consumption observed in the study could be attributed to how the peppers are used in an overall diet.

梅勒说，该研究观察到的吃辣椒的积极作用可以归因于辣椒在整体饮食中的运用方式。

"It is plausible people who use chillies, as the data suggests also used more herbs and spices, and as such likely to be eating more fresh foods including vegetables," he said.

他说：“数据显示，用辣椒做菜的人也会用更多药草和香料，他们吃蔬菜等新鲜食物的可能性也更大。”

"So, although chillies can be a tasty addition to our recipes and meals, any direct effect is likely to be small and it is more likely that it makes eating other healthy foods more pleasurable."

“因此，尽管辣椒会让我们的饭菜更美味，但辣椒本身对健康直接产生的效果可能并不大，更重要的是辣椒会让我们更愿意吃其他健康食品。”

Ian Johnson, a nutrition researcher at Quadram Institute Bioscience in Norwich, England, praised the "high-quality observational study" for its "robust methods."
