Homicidalheathen Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Curry Eaters Rejoice: It May Cure Cancer Scientists have identified a compound in tumeric that can start to kill cancer cells within 24 hours of introduction. The compound, curcumin, triggers death signals within the cancer cells, causing them to digest themselves. Curcumin is already being studied as a possible aid in treating arthritis and dementia. Researchers are hoping that the discovery will lead to a treatment for oesophageal cancer.
