In this context, a recent study showed that adding turmeric to a daily diet can help prevent intestinal cancer. This showed that Kurkumin, an effective connection responsible for orange in turmeric, prevents the growth of early cancer cells in the intestines and violates the mechanisms of their distribution.
The research group from the University of Lester explained that Kurkumin adheres to the main protein used by malignant cells to spread, which stops its work and prevents the multiplication of these cells before the forms of tumors. In laboratory experiments, researchers used antiserological supplements on intestinal tissues, and they noticed the growth of cancer stem cells, which are responsible for the development and regeneration of tumors.
The study showed that Kurkumin pushes these cells to a more benign state and reduces their ability to share and grow, which enhances its role as possible preventive means against intestinal cancer, especially for people who are at risk of infection.
The team also conducted experiments on mice deliberately infected with cancer cells, and it turned out that Kurkumin slows down the growth of the tumor and increases the age of the animals. The equivalent dose of a person is estimated between grams from a half to a day, a dose that exceeds that which is usually consumed in the diet, so concentrated additives of curcumin are used to achieve this benefit.
Despite these promising results, the UK, the Cancer Research Foundation emphasizes the need for additional research to determine the effectiveness and dose suitable for Turker for cancer prevention in humans.
It is worth noting that the turmeric is low toxic and inexpensive, and is considered a promising option for preventive treatment. It is famous for the kitchens of India, South -East Asia and the Middle East, since it is used as a food supplement from its anti -inflationary and painful properties.
The results were published in the journal “Letters about Cancer”.
