Turmeric a Winner Again, Now it’s Breast Cancer

Turmeric

Ayurveda says that turmeric and black pepper are both powerful herbs for giving the immune system a boost. Today, scientists added a confirmation.

Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center added the main active constituents in turmeric and black pepper to breast cancer cells in a test tube. The two spices prevented cancer-initiating stem cells from regenerating and producing new cancer cells. Even at concentrations 20 times stronger than found in a typical diet, they did not harm normal cells.

Both of these healing substances, from traditional medicinal herbs, are polyphenols, which I blogged about earlier.
