I have heard that hot foods such as jalapenos will increase your metabolism. Is this true? Can you list references please. Thank you.

    It does, but not enough for it to matter (maybe enough to burn a calorie or two). The more important thing is that it makes you feel full faster, keeping you from overeating.
