Want Kids To Eat Healthy? Researchers Say Give Them A Reason
BOSTON (CBS) – Do you struggle to get your kids to eat healthy foods? Researchers at Washington State University and Florida State University say it may be as simple as giving them a reason.
Parents often say, “Eat your spinach or else,” or “You can’t leave the table until you drink your milk.” But how often does that work? Not often, so researchers wanted to see whether explaining the benefits of healthy foods could make a difference.
They studied a group of 3- to 5-year-olds for six weeks and offered them two of their least favorite of the following healthy foods: green peppers, tomatoes, ...

Why Spicy Food Makes Your Nose Run —and Why It’s Great for You
Munch a bit of habanero pepper or hot-sauce-soaked jambalaya, and you’ll notice a tingling numbness in your mouth followed by a burning sensation. If that burning sensation is sufficiently strong, your nose and eyes will start to run, and your mouth and throat will start to generate mucus.
You may not be able to feel it, but your stomach and parts of your intestine will also start secreting excess fluid, says Dr. Brett Comer, a surgeon and ear, nose, and throat specialist at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. Why does all this happen? Like spraying water on a filthy car, your body turns on the waterworks...

New Study Says Eating Chili Peppers Could Slow Lung Cancer Progression
BOSTON (CBS) — Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and women but researchers at Marshall University found that a compound in spicy foods could help slow the spread of lung cancer.
The compound is called capsaicin and gives chili peppers their heat, but it’s currently used in creams or patches to treat chronic pain. And now researchers are studying its potential anti-cancer properties.
In a series of experiments, researchers found that capsaicin can inhibit the growth and proliferation of lung cancer cells and when mice were fed capsaicin they had smaller areas of metastatic cells in their lu...

Should researchers engineer a spicy tomato?
(Cell Press) With the latest gene-editing techniques, it could be possible, although challenging, to make a tomato produce capsaicinoids (the compounds that make peppers spicy), researchers argue in an opinion article publishing Jan. 7, 2019, in the journal Trends in Plant Science. Their objective isn't to start a hot, new culinary fad -- although that's not completely off the table -- but to have an easier means of mass producing large quantities of capsaicinoids for commercial purposes.
