Curcumin and Breast Cancer - Research Has Shown Some Promising Results

Posted Apr 02 2009 11:39am

Curcumin and breast cancer is an area of research that has been undertaken in the last 10 or so years. Interest in neutraceuticals has grown phenomenally by scientists around the world as they have discovered just how potent some of the properties of spices and other foods can be.

Disease protection

The two groups of people that immediately spring to mind are the French and their prevention against heart conditions, even though they ate a high fat diet, that in part has been put down to resveratrol and the low incidence of Alzheimer’s disease among the Indian nation that has been put down to turmeric, specifically curcumin.

Among the clinical studies that have been carried out to discover the efficacy of its phytochemical properties is work on mice in relation to breast cancer.

It seems that this spice is very powerful and stopped the malignant tumour from spreading into the lung tissue from the breast tissue. It has been shown to prevent new melanomas and cause existing melanomas to commit suicide by stopping the growth of new blood vessels in the cancerous cells. It has also been revealed that it boosts the effectiveness of Paclitaxel, a chemo drug and in addition it reduces the side effects that the drug has.

Not easily digested

Curcumin and breast cancer can then best be avoided by taking a regular amount but the thing to take note of is that it isn’t easily absorbed by the digestive system and therefore much of it doesn’t stay in the body. The only two ways of ensuring that the body gets what it needs is by either eating it in a food that contains oil or some other type of fat . But if you don’t fancy a curry every day a much better way of having it is the way that I do and that is as part of a multi nutritional supplement.

Synergistic supplement

I am so lucky because last year my friend introduced me to an amazing supplement that contains over 70 life enhancing ingredients that are blended in such a way that they ensure that the body is always balanced. That is very important because homeostasis allows for good health. Just some of the ingredients include the following plant extracts:

Resveratrol

Decaffeinated green tea extract

milk thistle

Turmeric

Ginger

Aloe vera

Ginko biloa

And many others that give tremendous protection to your body against all manner of disease.
