You may know the name turmeric from your spice rack, but you may not be familiar with its active ingredient, curcumin. This ultra-powerful antioxidant has incredible effects on the body, and has been linked directly to apoptosis in cancerous cells, while not attacking healthy cells nearby. Curcumin also has stimulating properties for gastrointestinal health, including reducing hemorrhoids and constipation, which can often be symptoms of colon cancer or conditions that increase your chances of developing that deadly disease. Turmeric can be found in almost every spice rack, so start using it!
