Benefit 3: Turmeric might prevent (and treat) cancer

The potential anticancer properties of turmeric have sparked interest among researchers. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has been found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and even induce cell death in some types of cancer. Furthermore, it may reduce the spread of cancer and inhibit the formation of new blood vessels in tumors. While turmeric shows promise in cancer prevention and treatment, it should not replace conventional medical treatments and should be used as a complementary approach.
