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.

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.

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.

"curcumin

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."

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).

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
inhibits COX-2 expression, and may have value as a safe
chemopreventive agent for colon cancer."
"The
effects of 500 mg of Curcumin administered orally via capsules on serum
peroxides and cholesterol levels were compared in 10 human volunteers before and
after administration for 7 days. No
adverse effects were
reported. The data indicated significant decreases
in serum lipid peroxides and in total cholesterol, (and) a significant increase
in HDL(good) -cholesterol"
"The
Anti-carcinogenic effects of Turmeric and Curcumin are due in part to

increasing glutathione levels, thereby aiding in hepatic detoxification
of mutagens and carcinogens, and inhibiting nitrosamine formation."

Nontraditional or alternative medicine is becoming an increasingly attractive
approach for the treatment of various inflammatory disorders among patients
unresponsive to or unwilling to take standard medications....The use of natural
anti- inflammatory products provides an attractive and safe alternative to
modulate inflammatory disorders. Curcumin is an anti- inflammatory food product
that has been used for centuries in Asian cultures. However, the lack of
information regarding a mechanism of action for curcumin combined with unknown
effects on mucosal inflammatory gene expression have precluded the widespread
clinical use of curcumin in western cultures for treatment of intestinal
inflammatory disorders. Our data clearly indicate that cytokine- mediated
expression of the adhesion molecule ICAM- 1 and the chemokine IL- 8 in IEC’s
is blocked by curcumin treatment...Together, these data provide strong evidence
that curcumin blocks IEC gene expression by inhibiting the signal leading to IKK
activation, subsequent I- ?Bá phosphorylation/degradation, and NF- ?B
activation. This study provides a strong rational to investigate the effect of
curcumin in an in vivo experimental model of intestinal inflammation. 7

Curcumin, a potent inhibitor of tumor promotion and of tumor cell growth, has
also been shown to have antioxidant properties and to inhibit NF- kappa B (NF-
Kappa B is a pathway which can lead to pathological inflammation and abnormal
cancer proliferation)...Curcumin caused a marked reduction in NF- kappa B
activity in nuclear extracts of HL- 60 cells (human leukemia cell line) exposed
to this agent… PMID: 9112258- 3 Researchers
