How Turmeric Kills Cancer Cells

The spice turmeric appears to be able to switch back on the self-destruct mechanism within cancer cells.

This is the last of a three part video series on turmeric and cancer. If you missed the first two, check out: Back to Our Roots: Curry (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/back-...) and Carcinogen Blocking Effects of Turmeric Curcumin (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/carci...).

Other herbs and spices such as garlic (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/1-ant...) and amla (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/some-...) have similar selective effects against cancer cell.

I talk more about this concept of "apoptosis," programmed cell death in:

• Clonal Deletion Theory of Immunity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/clona...)

• Ex Vivo Cancer Proliferation Bioassay (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/devel...)

• Is It the Diet, the Exercise, or Both? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-it...)

• The Answer to the Pritikin Puzzle (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-a...)

What else can turmeric do? Here's the videos I have so far (with more on the way!):

• Who Shouldn't Consume Curcumin or Turmeric? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-s...)

• Turmeric Curcumin and Rheumatoid Arthritis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turme...)

• Boosting the Bioavailability of Curcumin (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/boost...)

• Turmeric Curcumin and Osteoarthritis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turme...)
