In the last few years, more than 5,000 studies have been done on curcumin—the pigment in turmeric. It’s proven to prevent and treat lung disease, brain disease, and a variety of cancers, including multiple myeloma, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Tumeric has many more benefits—the list is long.
