A chemical found in chili peppers that is being touted as a weight loss aid may not be as useful as its manufacturer would like people to think, a new study suggests.
Japanese food maker Ajinomoto claims that this chemical-called dihydrocapsiate-is “a great tool for weight management” that helps people burn calories, the company’s Jun Tashiro told Reuters Health.
However, researchers found no change in body weight and only a small increase of around 50 more calories burned per day after people took a pill containing the compound.
