    There is a minimal burn from the "heat" of the food but not enough to make any difference unless you consumed bushels of them but feel free to try it.

    It's BS but research has suggested a link between capsicum and cardiovascular health.
    "Influence of capsicum extract and capsaicin on endothelial health."

    CONCLUSION:

    CEX and CAP improved endothelial function and protected against LPS-induced apoptosis. Regular consumption of Capsicum spp. may promote endothelial health and reduce cardiovascular disease risk.

    and they're yummy enough to merit eating on that basis only.
