One minor nitpick; I’m not sure that there is a lot of evidence showing that avoiding spicy foods extends lifespan. In fact, there was recently a study in China that seemed to show a correlation between eating spicy foods and a longer lifespan.
Of course that kind of study is only weak evidence, because of the problems with that kind of correlation; still, I don’t think avoiding spicy foods is likely to be helpful.
I think it strongly depends of type of spices. Curcumin (carry) is known to be benefitial, while peper is known to be cancerogenic. So someone could have beneficial spices
Short search for “black pepper carcinogenicity” doesn’t turn up anything except a few studies on rats and mice, and one of them shows no adverse effect. Do you have anything better?
