the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 5 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that spicy food and coffee are significant causes of peptic ulcers?

Unclear. Several peer-reviewed sources list H. pylori, NSAIDs, alcohol and smoking as the recognized causes of peptic ulcers and do not include spicy food or coffee; one study found capsaicin gastroprotective, and another found coffee and spicy food intake not significantly associated with gastric cancer. No retrieved source directly tests whether spicy food or coffee cause peptic ulcers.
