I recently listened to a program on radio and they were talking about a recent research about Turmeric.
Yes, the turmeric that we grew up with in india. We used it in our food, poojas and used in so many other ways.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turmeric
The research reveals that Turmeric(Curcumin longa) has incredible qualities that help humans in a lot of ways. It has antioxidant qualities, anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activity, support colon health, exert neuro-protective activity, help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system and can possibly enhance the cancer-fighting power.
According to a 2005 article in the Wall Street Journal, research activity into curcumin is exploding.

Here is a recent article about Turmeric: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091028/sc_nm/us_cancer_curry
Researchers at the Cork Cancer Research Center in Ireland treated esophageal cancer cells with curcumin -- a chemical found in the spice turmeric, which gives curries a distinctive yellow color -- and found it started to kill cancer cells within 24 hours.
It's a proven fact now!!! Nice...
