Does anyone else disagree with this MSN article?

This is on MSN and is under a link titles " Food that burns fat" I have a hard time believing this portion of the article… What does anyone else think?

Spicy Foods

Like it hot? Good news: Eating spicy foods can help you burn more fat. Hot foods make you sweat and raise your heart rate, which temporarily increases your metabolism. So grab some cayenne, your favorite bottle of hot sauce, hot chilies or red pepper flakes and give your food–and your metabolism–a kick. My personal fave hot sauce is Frank’s Red Hot Extra Hot.

Erm.. *scratches chin*.. dunno. I’ve been told eating spicy foods has the exact opposite effect of burning fat. A food that "raises your heart rate" doesn’t sound altogether healthy either. Maybe this advertisement is really an advertisement, for Frank’s Red Hot Extra Hot.
