Curcumin Changes Gene Function To Combat Cancer

At the world-renowned University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, researchers recently published a groundbreaking scientific review of their favorite anti-cancer nutrient ? curcumin. They reported that curcumin, along with other nutrients (e.g. tocotrienols, green tea, quercetin and resveratrol), can actually tell the difference between a healthy cell and a cancer cell.

According to Wellness Resources, here is how the researchers explained their interest in curcumin:

?In cancer cells, these nutrients help unleash a powerful response designed to kill the cancer. In the case of healthy cells, the nutrients promote survival and increase the ability of cells to tolerate stress. No current drugs have the ability to do this, even the newer biological medicines that are more like a gene shotgun.

? Curcumin (diferuloylmethane)?commonly known as turmeric, is one of the most powerful and promising chemopreventive and anticancer agents? How curcumin exerts its powerful anticancer activities has been thoroughly investigated, and several mechanisms of action have been discovered ? curcumin exerts its biological activities through epigenetic modulation.?

Curcumin changes the regulation of DNA to help kill cancer. It not only influences epigenetic settings, it also manages the downstream consequences, helping to guide multiple steps in the way gene orders are implemented.
