Spicy Food = Longer Life

No doubt everyone's seen this story, or some variant:

Hot Finding: Spicy Food Linked with Longer Life



I was surprised to search and not find a thread here on this topic. My question is: what kind of spices?? Can you just put red cayenne pepper sauce on everything and enjoy the goodness? Because I'm down with that..

In the study, the researchers also asked the participants to specify the main sources of spices they typically used, allowing them to choose between fresh chili pepper, dried chili pepper, chili sauce and chili oil. Fresh and dried chili peppers were the most frequently used types of spices among the people who ate spicy food at least once a week, the researchers said.
So is it all chili peppers then? I'm seriously curious, since I love spicy food and I love life. I'm totally down with mixing them together
