Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Oh, how I love curry.
And when there is any news of the health benefits of eating curry, I rejoice. Nick has posted before about curry's anti-Alzheimer's properties, and we've speculated about curry's benefits against cancer, but now, there is a small US study that has shown that curcumin, a compound found in the curry spice turmeric, and quercetin, an antioxidant found in onions may help prevent colon cancer in those at risk.
According to Dr Francis M. Giardiello, of The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD, "this is the first proof of principle that these substances have significant effects in patients with FAP [familial adenomatous polyposis]," which is an inherited disorder that leads to the development of colorectal polyps and, eventually, colon cancer.
