Medical Updates II

According to Bharat Aggarwal, PhD, a professor of cancer medicine at UTexas MD Anderson Cancer Center, curcumin (the anti-oxidant that gives curry it's color) has been shown to stop tumor growth and destroy cancer cells in recent lab results.

Unfortunately, fellow Alchemists, it is yet unclear HOW MUCH curry one should ingest in order to receive this life-saving benefit. But take heart! The studies continue, and so will the answers to the cancer quandry. In the meantime, Fitness recommends checking out 5 Spices, 50 Dishes by Ruta Kahate.

Good night, you princes of Alchemy, you queens of Medicine! Until next time....
