Also, the benefits subside once digested, so this would need to be injected intravenously to work well.

Maybe that's why Columbus was looking for a passage to India?

there is one problem in India
some men there love chewing tobacco way too often
it seems to cause bladder cancer quite a bit
apparently chewing tobacco is worse than inhaling it
because when you chew it, then you go urinate
it infects almost everything in the urinary track
another problem is pesticides in the form of fake alcohol
alot of people buy fake alcohol in india at lower prices
so to make it as strong as real alcohol they put pesticides in it

That should be an easy enough hypothesis to prove. What's the cancer rate in India?
Here are some ball park figures to start off with:
US:
The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2008, about 1,437,180 Americans will receive a new diagnosis of invasive cancer, and 565,650 Americans will die of this disease.
www.cdc.gov...
This year, over 1.3 million new cancer cases are estimated to be diagnosed [in the US], approximately 710,000 men and 660,000 women.
www.asbestos-attorney.com...
India:
1. Every year about 85,0000 new cancer cases are diagnosed in India resulting in about 58,0000 cancer related death every year.
cancerindia.net...
And India has between 3 and 4 times the number of people we do in the US...
They still rank as being one of the most cancer-plagued countries in the world, but behind the US obviously. I've heard Europeans talk lots of smack about Americans based on the fact that one out 3 or 4 of us will die of cancer, that our country is so unhealthy to live in.
I say blame the FDA and our big-business "healthcare" (doubletalk, anyone?) system that's only in it for the buck....

I wonder though...was this observed in a petri dish? If so, I wonder if it would have the same properties after traveling through and broken down by the digestive system? What affect would it have if curcumin were injected straight into the blood stream?
According to the Boston Globe, in November 2007, scientists at Sirtris Pharmaceuticals said they’d created a drug that mimicked resveratrol, but was “1,000 times more potent … and could lead to solutions for diseases of aging, including cancer and diabetes.” Resveratrol contains an immune system–boosting enzyme called SRT1, which has the ability to extend the lifespans of various organisms.
