Curry and onion extracts could protect against colon cancer.
Quercetin and curcumin, compounds found naturally in onions and curry,
could reduce the risk of colon cancer, suggests a small clinical trial from the
US.
August 2006
Treatment
Based on Curry and Onions Reduced Precancerous Intestinal Growths. Although
study participants received the two substances together, the researchers believe
curcumin was the key ingredient. "The amount of quercetin we
administered was similar to what many people consume daily. However, the amount
of curcumin is many times what a person might ingest in a typical diet,
since turmeric only contains on average 3% to 5% curcumin by weight,"
researcher Francis M. Giardiello, MD, of Johns Hopkins University School of
Medicine, says in a news release.
August 2006
Study
Finds Compounds In Curry, Onion May Shrink Colon Polyps. The potential of curcumin
to prevent and/or treat cancer in the lower intestines surfaced in studies in
lab rats fed curry, as well as in observational studies of Asian populations
that consume a lot of curry.

Pills
containing curcumin, a substance found in turmeric (a key ingredient of
curry), and quercetin, an anti-oxidant derived from onions, kept the adenomas at
bay, according to Francis Giardiello, M.D., of Johns Hopkins here. Patients with
familial adenomatous polyposis develop hundreds of adenomas and eventually colon
cancer.
July 2006
Curcumin,
which gives curries their characteristic yellow tinge, is a potent killer of
melanoma cells in vitro. Curcumin, found in the spice turmeric, has been
shown in other studies to both inhibit cancer cell proliferation and encourage
programmed cell death, or apoptosis, in various tumor cell lines, including
multiple myeloma and squamous cell carcinomas.
July 2006 "Tests
in mice showed that curcumin, an active compound found in turmeric, helped stop
the spread of breast cancer tumor cells to the lungs.

of cancer patients, curcumin has been used as capsules and if used in diabetic

"curcumin
helps thwart cancer by "switching off" proteins that cause cells to
multiply and by inducing cancer cells to self-destruct. The spice may also
reduce risk of Alzheimer's, psoriasis and arthritis.
June 2006 "curcumin,
the active ingredient in turmeric. This Indian spice has been used for centuries
to flavor curry. Recently, scientists have found that this antioxidant compound
fights inflammation and discourages the buildup of amyloid plaques in the brain
(Current Alzheimer's Research, April 2005). Such plaques are characteristic of
Alzheimer's disease.
May 2006 "Curcumin
has also shown great promise in the prevention of cancer. It is the active
ingredient in Tumeric, a type of curry spice. Research has been conducted for
decades now, and it would appear that Curcumin has extremely powerful
anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-tumor properties. It has also been
shown to interfere with cell-signaling pathways, which works to suppress the
transformation and proliferation of cancerous cells."
April 2006
"Curcumin,
the chemical ingredient found in turmeric – our ubiquitous “safran”
– has been shown to have a double protective effect on the brain through its
anti-oxidation property: it prevents deterioration of the communication among
the cells of the brain (which is fundamental to the memory process) and it slows
or actually prevents the formation of what are called amyloid plaques that are
thought to be related to the genesis of Alzheimer’s disease."
March 2006
"when
colon-cancer cells were exposed to curcumin—the yellow pigment that gives
curry its color—25 percent were destroyed within a day. "Studies have
also shown that curcumin reduces the formation of blood vessels in cancerous
cells and inhibits the cells' movement."
February 2006
Curcumin
is medically promising because inflammation and oxidative damage are
contributors to so many diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, arthritis
and various cancers, said Gregory Cole, a professor of medicine and neurology at
the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA who has conducted numerous studies
on the spice. Curcumin are being probed for their potential to
prevent and treat a broad range of diseases: cancer, cystic fibrosis,
Alzheimer's and arthritis.
Researchers believe the Curcumin it
contains fights disease partly by shutting down a powerful protein that promotes
an abnormal inflammatory response in the body. The spice also has potent
antioxidant properties (and may even lower cholesterol).

"Curcumin

"Curcumin
could be a potentially therapeutic anti-cancer
agent, as it significantly inhibits prostate cancer growth, as
exemplified by LNCaP in vivo, and has the potential to prevent

Curcumin,
a compound found in turmeric (Curcuma longa), has a number of potential cancer-preventing
mechanisms
of action. The first is its inhibitory effect on the proinflammatory enzymes
cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase. A study found the anti-inflammatory
efficacy of curcumin to be superior to indomethacin.
Curcumin
has also
been found to induce G2/M phase
cell cycle arrest in human colon cancer cells
independently of its control of prostaglandin synthesis...Curcumin's
tumor inhibiting effect is similar to many of the NSAIDs, including aspirin,
ibuprofen, and indomethacin. A diet containing two-percent curcumin by weight reduced
the percentage of animals developing colon cancers from 40 percent to
zero."
"Curcumin,
a major yellow pigment and active component of turmeric, has been shown
to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer
activities. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 plays an important role in
colon carcinogenesis. To investigate the effect of curcumin on COX-2 expression,
we treated HT-29 human colon cancer
cells with various concentrations of Curcumin. Curcumin
inhibited the cell growth of HT-29 cells in a concentration-
and time-dependent manner. Curcumin markedly inhibited the mRNA and
protein expression of COX-2, but not COX-1. These data suggest that a non-toxic
concentration of Curcumin
has a significant effect on the in vitro growth of HT-29 cells, specifically

effects of 500 mg of Curcumin administered orally via capsules on serum
peroxides and cholesterol levels were compared in 10 human volunteers before and

"The
Anti-carcinogenic effects of Turmeric and Curcumin are due in part to
direct antioxidant and free-radical
scavenging effect; but, they also enhance
the body's natural antioxidant system,
increasing glutathione levels, thereby aiding in hepatic detoxification
of mutagens and carcinogens, and inhibiting nitrosamine formation."
"Curcumin,
a spice widely used in Indian dishes, has anti-carcinogenic
and anti-inflammatory properties.
It also inhibits the oestrogenic effects of DDT and is synergistic with
phytooestrogens.A dietary modification with the introduction of soy products, Curcumin,
cruciferous vegetables and low fat could be beneficial in reducing
the risk of developing cancer and
possibly the effects of DDT."

Curcumin has been used for centuries to treat inflammatory disorders. Due to its
low toxicity it is currently under consideration as a broad anti- inflammatory,
anti- tumor cell agent. We conclude that gammadelta T cells (allergic
inflammatory agents)...are highly sensitive to curcumin and that this effect may
contribute to the anti- inflammatory properties of this compound. PMID*: 11544338,

The results indicate that dietary administration of curcumin significantly
inhibited incidence of colon adenocarcinomas and the multiplicity of invasive,
noninvasive, and total (invasive plus noninvasive) adenocarcinomas. Dietary
curcumin also significantly suppressed the colon tumor volume by >57%
compared to the control diet. Although the precise mechanism by which curcumin
inhibits colon tumorigenesis remains to be elucidated, it is likely that the
chmopreventive action, at leasat in part, may be related to the modulation of
arachidonic acid metabolism (the pathway that also leads to inflammatory COX-
2). PMID: 7812955- 5 Researchers
