All I can find is a 1983 study on rats that show some negative effect on reproduction and physical activity with significant amount of it in their diet, while non-dose dependant effect where also measured. The sample was less than fifty rats for each group, and the results where all over the place (2.5% of the diet caused similar to more damage than 10% of the diet). You’d have to eat ton of the stuff, almost exclusively, to even reach levels that are considered still safe for humans. Beyond that, it’s not more dangerous than chili.
