Inversely associated means that the greater the consumption of spicy foods, the lower the risk of cancer. These are both a win for us!

Spicy food is one thing I just refuse to remove from my diet. Meat, alcohol, cheese etc I get but spice? Nah. I’d die on the battlefield for spice brother

Both are true. You will be immortal, and your tumors will be as well!

Doctor prescribed spicy food when I was in my late teens, back when dinosaurs ruled the earth. Doc said that the hot stuff would reduce asthma symptoms and help me clear out mucus. Discovered on my own that it made headaches a thing of the past by draining out sinus congestion. I get an average of one headache a year, always when pollen is at its worst.
If it reduces the chance of cancer, just pass me another little green grenade, please.

Molecular Biologist. So this is probably a correlation-causation sort of thing. People who have digestive issues are less likely to eat very spicy food, thus people that eat spicy food would be underrepresented in the group of people with digestive diseases.
That said, very spicy food does move things along in the digestion faster (though, notably, if you are eating chilis you are at least eating some vegetables), so there -could- be some causal basis.

Always ask yourself: Who *sponsored* the study, regardless of whether you agree or disagree.
For example, “This study was conducted, in part, with funding from the ______ Group.” Use your favorite search engine to dig a bit deeper on that group. I remember doing this for a couple of “studies”. One of those studies heralded whatever goodness and healthful outcomes from what it was–and the study was actually sponsored by a company who had products related to the study.
Mass media loves to use studies in their news cycles. Little to no research on their part.
And be mindful of other factors, too. For example, a certain popular sriracha manufacturer used to say “Made in California” years ago, then somewhat recently has “Made in U.S.A.” — along with California Proposition 65 warning on its label. IMHO, consume (eat/use) at your own risk.

Some is good.
Too much is bad.
Everything gives you cancer. Live your life
