An extract found in the bright yellow curry spice turmeric can kill off cancer cells, scientists have shown. The chemical - curcumin - has long been thought to have healing powers and is already being tested as a treatment for arthritis and even dementia.

Turmeric is also a good immune system booster.

My family eats curry all the time. Especially a chicken dish my grandfather made ever sunday.

He died from cancer 2 years ago.

Thanks for nothing ...curry.

Many spices are said to have healing properties.

I saw some data a year or so back that showed India and Thailand had the world's lowest incidence per capita of cancer in the world...
...could explain why.

Both countries also each lots of seeds high in Nitrilosides (Sesame. Lentils).

Curries are effective anti-fungals.

Turmeric isn't spicy at all.
Just put a teaspoon of it in with your rice while it boils.

Thats how you get yellow rice.

Spicy foods cleans you out!

Just down a bottle of Tabasco sauce and you'll never get sick. And I'm not being sarcastic.

Although, the "after burn" is killer. You know what I mean.

Thanks for the tips! I will try and start with some mild stuff and work my way up if I can manage lol

Ground from the root of a plant (Curcuma longa L.) of the ginger family, found wild in the Himalayas and grown across South Asia, turmeric powder is surprisingly bland, not hot, tangy or peppery. The powder tastes a little sour.

Jars of pickles seem to hide the taste as well a mustard.

So curry rice must have peppers to hide the turmeric.
