Is it too much to ask for proper scientific process before you claim something incredible?

Cancerous cells invade normal tissue with the aid of enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases. Curcumin has been found to inhibit the activity of several matrix metalloproteinases in cell culture studies. To fuel their rapid growth, invasive tumors must also develop new blood vessels by a process known as angiogenesis. Curcumin has been found to inhibit angiogenesis in cultured vascular endothelial cells and in an animal model. Since the digestive tract can be exposed to curcumin unlike other body compartments, it may benefit the most from turmeric.

Saliva is full of MANY enzymes, peptides, and proteins including hormones. Some of these autocrine or paracrine hormones may up- or downregulate cell proliferation. The mucosa such as the mouth are rapidly replaced of neccesity and constantly exposed to the environment therefore more *likely* to become cancerous anyway. No one is blaming amylase.

Does this refer to the all-natural salivary amylase that we are all endowed with? I would imagine that a lack of amylase, not an abundance of it, would see more of a correlation with cancer spread. Can you supply a link to a study referencing this supposed causality? Who ever heard of an enzyme in the mouth being “responsible for promoting cancer spread and growth?”

Curcumin has been shown to have anti cancer properties in addition to increasing the efficacy of chemo while reducing it's toxicity.

We slip it into almost all of our daughter's dishes, and she loves it so much! Combining it with black pepper helps absorption of curcumin, I believe. Turmeric really is incredible.
