Turmeric May Reduce Cancer Risk

This orange-colored spice, a staple in Indian curries, contains an ingredient called curcumin (not the same as cumin) that may be useful in reducing cancer risk. According to the American Cancer Society, curcumin can inhibit some kinds of cancer cells in laboratory studies and slow the spread of cancer or shrink tumors in some animals. This cancer-fighting food is easy to find in grocery stores, and you can use it in a variety of recipes on your anti-cancer diet.
