Is the anti-cancer compound curcumin found in both turmeric and curry powder?

Technically, yes, but turmeric is a more concentrated source. Curcumin is the yellow pigment found in the ground spice called turmeric. Although curcumin content will vary from one batch of the spice to another, the curcumin content of curry powder is much more variable, since curry powder is not just one spice, but a mixture of turmeric, cumin, fenugreek and other spices.

Emerging research suggests that curcumin may affect the activity of genes and proteins that control cell growth and cancer development, including the ability to stimulate cancer cell self-destruction. We still need to learn more about how well the body absorbs curcumin from food and what amounts provide optimal effects. Meanwhile, since turmeric provides flavour and colour, some experts suggest adding a little extra turmeric when cooking, even if you start with a commercial curry powder as your base.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
