Eat curry to avoid cancer

The next time you give in to temptation and take an extra helping of your mother's special curry, it will be like eating the cake and having it too, as a new study has revealed that the delicious extra serving could actually help you avoid cancer.

The study which was recently presented at a conference on Childhood leukaemia in London, reveals that turmeric, which is one of the main spices added to curry, helps fight leukaemia, lessens the harmful effects of cigarette smoke and processed food and also stops the cancer cells from multiplying in the body.
