Once they're up, make sure you check out the next two videos: Carcinogen Blocking Effects of Turmeric Curcumin (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/carcinogen-blocking-effects-of-turmeric-curcumin" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/carcinogen-blocking-effects-of-turmeric-curcumin</a>) and Turmeric Curcumin Reprogramming Cancer Cell Death (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-reprogramming-cancer-cell-death/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-reprogramming-cancer-cell-death/</a>).

This is what I have so far:<br />• Who Shouldn't Consume Curcumin or Turmeric? (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-consume-curcumin-or-turmeric/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-consume-curcumin-or-turmeric/</a>)<br />• Boosting the Bioavailability of Curcumin (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin/</a>)<br />• Turmeric Curcumin and Osteoarthritis (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-osteoarthritis/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-osteoarthritis/</a>)<br />• Turmeric Curcumin and Rheumatoid Arthritis (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-rheumatoid-arthritis/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-rheumatoid-arthritis/</a>)<br />• Spicing Up DNA Protection (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/spicing-up-dna-protection/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/spicing-up-dna-protection/</a>)<br />• Which Spices Fight Inflammation? (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-spices-fight-inflammation/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-spices-fight-inflammation/</a>)<br /><br />Amla, dried Indian gooseberry powder, is another promising dietary addition:<br />• Amla Versus Cancer Cell Growth (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/amla-versus-cancer-cell-growth/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/amla-versus-cancer-cell-growth/</a>)<br />• Amla Versus Cancer Cell Invasion (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/amla-versus-cancer-cell-invasion/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/amla-versus-cancer-cell-invasion/</a>)<br />• Amla Versus Diabetes (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/amla-versus-diabetes/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/amla-versus-diabetes/</a>)<br /><br />I add it to my Pink Juice with Green Foam (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pink-juice-with-green-foam/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pink-juice-with-green-foam/</a>) recipe. Not all natural products from India are safe, though. See, for example, my video Some Ayurvedic Medicine Worse than Lead Paint Exposure (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/some-ayurvedic-medicine-worse-than-lead-paint-exposure/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/some-ayurvedic-medicine-worse-than-lead-paint-exposure/</a>).<br /><br />More on the antioxidant concentration in spices in general in Antioxidants in a Pinch (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidants-in-a-pinch/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidants-in-a-pinch/</a>). Why do antioxidants matter? See Food Antioxidants and Cancer (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-antioxidants-and-cancer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-antioxidants-and-cancer</a>) and Food Antioxidants, Stroke, and Heart Disease (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-antioxidants-stroke-and-heart-disease" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-antioxidants-stroke-and-heart-disease</a>).<br /><br />Which fruits and vegetables might be best? See #1 Anticancer Vegetable (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/video/1-anticancer-vegetable/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/video/1-anticancer-vegetable/</a>) and Best Fruits for Cancer Prevention (<a href="http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/best-fruits-for-cancer-prevention/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/best-fruits-for-cancer-prevention/</a>).<br /><br />If there are other herbs or spices you'd like me to cover, please let me know in the comments section below.<br /><br />Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video?
