Spice is Nice - It can prevent cancer!

I read a few articles today that pointed out different spices that are good for preventing cancer.

From a BBC article: "An extract found in the bright yellow curry spice turmeric can kill off cancer cells, scientists have shown."

I'm glad I eat a lot more ethnic type foods these days!  My wife likes to make curry every now and then, and we often hit up the local Thai spot we like so much.  I guess I should start ordering the Yellow curry more frequently rather than my favorite RED CURRY.  Our spot is Sum Pao Tong Thai Grill, my wife loves it because they make killer Tum Yum soup. http://www.sumpaotongthaigrill.com/

Another article I ran across was about Cayenne Pepper preventing Colon Cancer, among other things.

Maybe most importantly during this cold and flu season Cayenne pepper should be added to your diet: "The capsaicin in cayenne pepper stimulates secretions, which helps to clear the mucus from nose and lungs by clearing the sinuses and causing sweating. Cayenne pepper added tea is good for colds and flu."

Mucus in the sinuses is what prevents virus's and bacteria from entering the body through the nostrils.  So keep blowing them noses this cold and flu season and if you don't have much mucus forming be sure to add some Cayenne pepper to your diet to clearn those sinuses out.
