Cure For Cancer

turmeric - a bright yellow aromatic powder obtained form the rhizome of a plant of the ginger family.

anti-inflammatory- used to reduce an sevir inflammation.

antioxidant- a substance that inhibits, oxdation. It's also used to counteract the deterioration of stored food products.

The summery of this article is about the compound that kills cancer cells, or that they are testing to see if it will kill them. This turmeric compound is also made to kill breast and liver cancer cells. They have tested this on mice and they also found that it might fend off Aizheimer's disease too.


I enjoyed this article because I'm very intertested in learning a cure for cancer because I know many people that have been effected by this horrible disease. Its neat because the NF-kappa-B switches on genes for proteins involved in the inflammation of the cell replication. I also found it intetresting because they tested it on mice; you would think that they would at least test it on something that was a tad bit bigger. In all this to say I liked learning about a cure for cancer.
