How turmeric could offer hope in the fight against CANCER: Scientists say compound curcumin found in the popular spice has tumour-killing potential
- Review of 5,000 studies found curcumin killed cancer cells and stopped growth
- Killed off breast, lung, blood, bone, stomach, bowel, pancreatic, prostate cancer
- US researchers concluded the spice could 'represent effective drug for cancer'
- Turmeric is a yellow spice widely used as a flavouring in the Indian subcontinent and as a food colouring by industry
- It is ground from the dried root of an Asian plant called Curcuma longa and has been used in Eastern medicine for centuries
- Curcumin - turmeric’s active ingredient - has significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties
- Studies have shown it is an effective painkiller and also reduces the risk of lung disease, Alzheimer’s, heart disease and depression
- It seems to be able to kill cancer cells and prevent more from growing in a laboratory setting
