I’ve read of many benefits of curcumin. I know it is a very effective anti-inflammatory which is good for blood pressure and the heart. As I understand it, the primary ingredient blocks cancer cells from being able to absorb energy from sugar. In effect, it causes them starve and die while not impacting healthy cells. But I’m not a doctor. This is just what I’ve seen in my casual research.
That’s interesting. It could be that it just limits the overall uptake rate of energy - since cancer cells burn/reproduce more rapidly than normal cells they starve to death....
What really could be interesting is I could see it having an added benefit in relation to diabetes for those taking in too much sugar. I wonder if that has been looked at at all.
Cancer cells can’t manufacture their own glucose from protein as the rest of the body normally can. It stands to reason that an ultra low carb and anti inflammatory diet would kick ass on it.
