According to Dr. Andrew Weil recent research on both turmeric and curcumin is very promising:

• Curcumin delays liver damage that can eventually lead to cirrhosis, according to preliminary experimental research at the Medical University of Graz in Austria.
• Epidemiologists have hypothesized that the turmeric that is part of daily curries eaten in India may help explain the low rate of Alzheimers disease in that country. Among people aged 70 to 79, the rate is less than one-quarter that of the United States.
• Researchers from the University of South Dakota have found that pretreatment with curcumin makes cancer cells more vulnerable to radiotherapy and chemo.
• Kansas State University research found that adding certain spices, including turmeric, can reduce the levels of heterocyclic amines carcinogenic compounds that are formed when meats are barbecued, boiled or fried by up to 40 percent.
• Rodent studies at the University of Texas indicate that curcumin inhibits the growth of melanoma, skin cancer and also slows the spread of breast cancer into the lungs.
• And at least one new study suggests curcumins value for arthritis treatment. Since arthritis is so common and the results are so interesting, its worth a closer look.
