ummmm… the thing about curry should have been clarified. There are many spices in an indian “curry.” A”Curry” in India means a sauce that is used to top off rice. It does not mean the actual spice of curry. The spice called “curry” is used in Chinese cooking. The different colors in Indian dishes come from spices like Tumeric and actual food dyes. That statement was a bit misleading and too in general.

About curry (watched the video - since come can’t or don’t want to, am posting what it says about it)…

“The spice that’s in curry…” I didn’t know there was a spice in curry but that’s what gave them the results they got.

When that spice in curry was added to a petri dish/culture, the cells are killed. She said the brain cells but a few words after that I couldn’t catch. Clearly, she meant that the spice kills the tumor cells.

More testing in a systematic way is being done with this spice. She mentioned too that cultures that eat a lot of curry have less brain cancer.

She said too, about cell phones, that there aren’t definitive studies linking cell phone usage with brain cancer.

That’s about it. The couple/few minutes of comments about curry, imo, didn’t warrant the way they left us hanging - then makes us watch a video for that ‘chump change’ info. Don’t like hype…
