May have anticancer effects

Curry powder contains a lot of spices that have anti-cancer potential. Turmeric in particular may be able to combat certain cancer cells, according to several test-tube studies. The primary active component of turmeric, curcumin, is well known for its powerful anti-cancer effects. By blocking particular signaling pathways in the body, it causes cancer cells to die and prevents cancer cells from spreading. Curcumin may fight many cancers, including those of the prostate, breast, colon, and brain, according to research on animals and in test tubes.

Promising findings have also been found in human investigations. For instance, a study of 126 patients with colorectal cancer found that taking 1,080 mg of curcumin daily for 30 days boosted the mortality of cancer cells and reduced inflammation. According to research, other curry powder ingredients including chili peppers, coriander, and cumin may potentially have potent anticancer properties.
