Could curcumin prevent cancer?
, the antioxidant curcumin found in the curry spice turmeric does seem to activate a “cancer watchdog” gene called p53. It’s possible, but not proven, that curcumin (and you’d need a supplement, turmeric or curry won’t give you enough curcumin to make a difference) might slow down the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells.

Interestingly, curcumin may cure cancer the same way sodium restriction cured the patients of Dr. Sodi-Pallares. Scientists at the University of Texas at El Paso have found that curcumin “untangles” DNA that may have been distorted in a precancerous cell. And it restores a normal electrostatic charge that helps a cell stay healthy by bringing in all the nutrients it needs.
