Curry spice found to fight cancer
HOUSTON, July 12 (UPI) -- Turmeric, a spice that is a key ingredient in
Indian curry dishes, contains a potent cancer-fighting agent, the New York
Daily News reported Tuesday.
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."
