OPaul Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 A study published in the upcoming issue of Cancer magazine related that curcumin, a chemical pigment in turmeric, helped stop the spread of breast cancer tumor cells to the lungs of mice. Now doctors have launched clinical tests to see if it works on humans, said Bharat Aggarwal of the Department of Experimental Therapeutics at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, who led the study. Earlier studies suggest that people who eat diets rich in turmeric have lower rates of breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer and colon cancer, Aggarwal said. He noted that many cancers are 10 times rarer on the Indian subcontinent than in the West. The breakthrough came as no surprise to the owner of an Indian restaurant in downtown Manhattan. Abu Syed told the Daily News: "We already knew that Indian food tastes good. But it is good to hear it can help with cancer, too. It is one more reason to eat plenty of it."

vincent Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 My Great Uncle always eats grounded up Habaneros, sent to him from AZ. And i always get told "it kills the cancer" now take in mind that this man is an 81yr old WWII vet and he says it jokingly but in fact he just loves spicy stuff... I hate spicy stuff, well except for a good chile verde dish. But that is hardly spicy, anyways. this is good news.
