Russian nutrition expert Dr. Mikhail Ginsburg revealed the benefits of turmeric in preventing cancerous diseases. The expert mentioned that turmeric is a useful spice for health, particularly in the prevention of malignant tumors. He stated: "The direct effect of curcumin has been discovered, showing that it restores the sensitivity of cancer cells to apoptotic factors (programmed cell death), meaning these cells destroy themselves. It has also been found that regular consumption of turmeric significantly reduces the risk of colon and rectal cancer, as well as breast and prostate cancer."
