Secret to the Low Cancer Rates in Indians
As one looks through the cancer rates in different ethnic groups, it would be impossible to miss the fact that Indians have a low rate of cancer compared to their Western and Chinese counterparts.
For example, colorectal cancer rate (2008-2012) in Indians (20.6/100,000/year) is half that of the Chinese (42.7/100,000/year) in Singapore. So what could attribute to this difference?
Tumeric is the Answer
Tumeric is a rhizome that is often ground and used as a spice in Indian and Southeast Asian cooking like curries. It has been used traditionally in Indian cooking for about 2000 years.
It contains curcumin, the phytochemical that gives turmeric its golden colour. Curcumin has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties.
Recent studies have shown that curcumin inhbits cancer cell growth of most cancers like colon, prostate, ovarian and breast.
Curcumin is also able to inhibit the growth of new blood vessels, angiogenesis, that helps to feed the cancerous tumour.
A study conducted by Anirban Maitra, M.D., a pathologist at Johns Hopkins, found that curcumin helped to stop drug-resistant cancers.
A research done by Professor Bharat Aggarwal at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Centre showed that curcumin is able to suppress breast cancer cells in tumours that no longer responded to chemontherapy and inhibit lung metastasis of human breast cancer in mice by administering a regular dietary dose of curcumin. It is also found to induce death of oesophageal cancer cells.
Therefore, how should curcumin be taken to maximize the anti-inflammatory benefits of curcumin?
Curcumin should not be taken on its own as it has poor solubility and poor intestinal absorption. Piperine, the active ingredient in black pepper helps to increase absorption by up to 2,000 percent.
Here at NatureNip, we have carefully prepared our Tumeric Tonic with this in mind using only the best ingredients to combine both curcumin and piperine together in a single pill.
