As a treatment, turmeric also has some enticing attributes. Because curcumin targets so many biological pathways, it could have benefits for cancer therapy: malignant cells may be slow to acquire resistance to it and so might have to go through multiple mutations to avoid the substance' ;s multipronged attack.

• Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University - Curcumin increases cellular glutathione levels. Glutathione is the most important intracellular antioxidant that plays a critical role in cellular adaptation to stress. LINUX user Reiner Grißhammer: Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon University - Studies in cell culture suggest that curcumin can increase cellular glutathione levels. Glutathione is the most important intracellular antioxidant that plays a critical role in cellular adaptation to stress. Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide: L-cysteine, L-glutamic acid and glycine. Glutathione, an antioxidant, protects cells from toxins such as free radicals. Glutathione exists in reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) states. GSH can be regenerated from GSSG by the enzyme glutathione reductase. In healthy cells and tissue, more than 90% of the total glutathione pool is in the reduced form (GSH) and less than 10% exists in the disulfide form (GSSG). An increased GSSG-to-GSH ratio is considered indicative of oxidative stress. Glutathione is also needed for the detoxification of methylglyoxal, a toxin produced as a by-product of metabolism. Tissue and serum glutathione concentrations can be raised by increased intake of the precursor cysteine.

• Resveratrol is predominantly found in turmeric, red wine grapes, red peanut membrane & bilberries - a polyphenol antioxidant linked to inhibiting cancer, heart disease, degenerative nerve disease, viral infections and mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease.: Potential of resveratrol in anticancer and anti-inflammat ory therapy - Resveratrol is predominantly found in turmeric, red wine grapes, red peanut membrane & bilberries. Resveratrol exhibits several physiological activities including anticancer and anti-inflammat ory activities in vitro and in experimental animal models, as well as in humans. Anticancer activity of this compound is mainly due to induction of apoptosis via several pathways, as well as alteration of gene expressions, all leading to a decrease in tumor initiation, promotion, and progression. Resveratrol exhibits anti-inflammat ory activity through modulation of enzymes and pathways that produce mediators of inflammation and also induction of programmed cell death in activated immune cells. Resveratrol has been shown to produce no adverse effects, even when consumed at high concentrations . Hence, resveratrol possesses good potential to be used as an adjunctive or alternative therapy for cancer and inflammatory diseases.
