my sister (a breast cancer surviver)
sent me a health supplement called Curcumin (brand name NatXtra).
here's the info from the container...
" modern research & scientific study on Curcumin have been undertaken on its use in preventing & reducing the severity of many types of cancers. Studies have also been made on the role of Curcumin in reducing inflammatory conditions and reducing joint pain.
This supplement, extracted & brought to you by Synthite Industrial Chemical Ltd. contains the purified extract of dried tumeric rhizomes: a complex of Curcumin consisting of Curcumin, Demethoxy Curcumin & Bis Demethoxy Curcumin."
apparently they discovered that indians in india don't seem to suffer from cancer as much as westerners do, due to the fact they eat so much curry which of course has tumeric in it. i thought it might be of interest to you.
