Indian Curry Found Useful During Cancer Treatments

 

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) -- A new theory is currying favor with

cancer researchers: A common spice used in curries may protect the skin

during radiation treatments.

 

Scientists at the University of Rochester in New York have just released a

study which concludes a substance in tumeric called " curcumin " seems to

protect patients' skin from the burns and blisters that often come with

radiation therapy.

 

The researchers tested the effectiveness of the curry by giving mice various

doses of curcumin during radiation treatments. According to head researcher

Ivan Ding, " There were far fewer blisters or burns on the mice who had been

given curcumin. "

 

Ding and his fellow cancer experts say further study is needed, but cancer

patients may want to consider eating curries while undergoing radiation.
