Capsaicin, a Compound in Hot Red Peppers, May Halt Fat Formation WebMD 3/6/07 "Capsaicin, the fiery compound in hot red peppers, may make fledging fat cells self-destruct...But don’t drown your dinner in hot pepper sauce just yet.

Then, they marinated preadipocytes from mice in the capsaicin extract for eight days, freshening the capsaicin extract every other day. The preadipocytes exposed to capsaicin died before becoming fat cells..."
