known as its 'powerhouse', which produces ATP, the major energy-containing chemical in
the body. By binding proteins in the cancer cell mitochondria the compound triggers apoptosis,
or natural cell death, without harming the healthy surrounding cells.

who traditionally eat a diet which is very spicy, tend to have lower incidences of many cancers
that are prevalent in the western world."
