5 Cancer-Fighting Spices

Turmeric
Who can resist the gorgeous yellow color of this cancer-fighting spice? Lately turmeric has been the darling of the spice world as researchers have discovered that, not only does it fight cancer, but contains an entire spectrum of other health benefits, including inflammation-fighting compounds called curcuminoids. These compounds may help prevent Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. When used topically turmeric has been known to help heal skin infections.
Check out this turmeric-friendly recipe Basmati Rice and Chickpea Supper Salad.

Thanks for a great article! Isn't it wonderful how the healthiest foods are often the most delicious, flavorful ones as well??!
I've used every single one of these nutritive "spices" liberally throughtout my cookbook (a vegan holistic health resource and cookbook)! They are so immune-boosting, cleansing, and tasty as well!

The xanthones contained in Mangosteen fruit are also know to have many cancer fighting properties (www.pubmed.gov). Xango has created a functional health beverage with a patented forumual using the ENTIRE fruit, since most xanthones are found in the rind. The drink is made to be taken 3oz. a day. Most people use it as a daily preventative, but some have started it after a cancer diagnosis. Mangosteen does a lot more than just fight cancer, it's worth the research, and like any natural product, it's not guaranteed to work for everyone. Check out www.mymangosteen.com/north

I have no problem with these except tumeric. In high amounts it caused an outbreak on my neck and sides of my face. So use with caution at first to make sure you are not allergic. I have similar problems using the herbs echinacea and goldenseal.

Before going overboard on cinnamon, get to know what kinds are most beneficial and which may cause problems in higher doses. This link might help:

Turmeric - perhaps putting some in a small shaker and add a shake to everything you make. In small quantity it won't change the flavor much if at all.
