                                According to a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies, regular consumers of spicy food, which includes chili flakes, experienced a lower risk of overall and heart disease-related mortality compared to non-consumers. This finding suggests that a daily dose of spice can be beneficial, but the question remains: is it safe for everyone to have chilli flakes every day?
