The yellow spice Curcumin not only creates the spicy character with curries, it also helps fight against cancer. That's the conclusion of Researchers at the University of Leicester.
Curcumin is extracted from the roots of the curcuma plant. The herb is very strong and, thanks to its yellow color is used to make more colorful curries and spice them. But now it appears the spice also has particular anticancer properties. "After each treatment, there remain a few cancer cells in the body, which could not be destroyed through chemotherapy. Our research shows that Curcumin attacks certain cells so intense that they gradually disappear," say the researchers.
