Curry Power

A Cure for Cancer?
If you like curry then you must be delighted to learn that scientists in Ireland have found a certain type of curry spice can kill off cancer cells. The chemical – curcumin – can be found in the bright yellow curry spice turmeric. It’s long thought to have healing powers. Tests by a team at the Cork Cancer Research Centre show it can destroy gullet cancer cells in the lab. The cancer cells began to digest themselves after the curcumin triggered lethal cell death signals. And this process started within 24 hours. Curry dishes have cancer beating ingredients.
That sounds great news for the patient of cancer. In Taiwan, many people will try to eat a lot of curry and hope to kill off cancer cells. This is a wrong thing to eat same food in short time. Maintaining a balanced diet remains our best option to a healthy lifestyle.
