Carcinogen Blocking Effects of Turmeric Curcumin

DESCRIPTION: Less than a teaspoon a day of turmeric appears to significantly lower the DNA mutating ability of cancer-causing substances.
This is second of a three-part video series on turmeric curcumin and its relationship to cancer. To find out more, check out the prequel Back to Our Roots: Curry and Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/back-...) and the last video in the series Turmeric Curcumin Reprogramming Cancer Cell Death.
Smokers are common research subjects for carcinogen studies. For example, see what happens to carcinogen levels when those eating processed meat start eating vegetarian in my video Heterocyclic Amines in Eggs, Cheese, and Creatine? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heter...).
Other foods that may protect DNA include kiwifruit (Kiwifruit and DNA Repair, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/kiwif...), cruciferous vegetables (DNA Protection from Broccoli, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dna-p...), leafy vegetables (Eating Green to Prevent Cancer, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eatin...), garlic (Cancer, Interrupted: Garlic & Flavonoids, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cance...), green tea (Cancer, Interrupted: Green Tea, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cance... (but which is better? Antimutagenic Activity of Green Versus White Tea, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/antim...)), and plants in general (Repairing DNA Damage, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/repai...).
More information on cancer prevention, treatment, and reversal can be found in my two latest annual presentations Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uproo...) and More Than an Apple a Day: Combating Common Diseases (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/more-...).

DESCRIPTION: Simple changes in diet and lifestyle may quadruple a woman's survival rate from breast cancer.

I recommend that all women with breast cancer eat broccoli sprouts. See my 8-part video series:

2. Sulforaphane: From Broccoli to Breast (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/sulfo...)

They may also help out with other cancers (Lung Cancer Metastases and Broccoli, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lung-..., and Raw Broccoli and Bladder Cancer Survival, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/raw-b...).

DESCRIPTION: A new theory of cancer biology—cancer stem cells—and the role played by sulforaphane, a phytonutrient produced by cruciferous vegetables. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/broc... and I'll try to answer it! Broccoli also protects our DNA. See the preceding video-of-the-day, DNA Protection From Broccoli (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dna-p...), and my other 35 videos on greens (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/greens/) and 98 videos on cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/cancer/). And those are two of the 1,290 topics (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/) I cover here at NutritionFacts.org (http://nutritionfacts.org/).
