Turmeric’s health benefits are apparent from its rating of 8 out of 326 foods on the antioxidant capacity ORAC scale (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) and its score of 127,068. The ORAC score measures the antioxidant capacity of foods and supplements and was developed by scientists at the National Institutes of Health. Foods and supplements ranking higher on the ORAC scale are believed to neutralize free radicals more effectively. The free-radical theory of aging tells us antioxidants slow down oxidation and the free radical damage that contributes to aging and disease, including cancer.
Free radicals and inflammation are the two main culprits behind the vast majority of sickness that ails us today.
The consequences of this?
- Cancer (cell growth)
- Skin cancer/conditions of the skin
- Arthritis
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Digestive system disorders
- Lung disease
- Bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites
- Heart disease
- Liver damage
A unique quality that sets apart Curcumin’s anti-cancer properties from the majority of other supplement’s anti-cancer properties is Curcumin’s ability to actually keep chemicals from entering cells. More importantly, is Curcumin’s ability to counteract the pesticides that mimic estrogen. These pesticides include DDT and dioxin, two of the deadliest toxins known to man.
Curcumin’s anti-cancer properties allow Curcumin to compete for the same cellular doorway as estrogen and estrogen-mimickers and has the power to block access to the cell, thereby protecting the cell from unwanted intruders.
