COLUMBIA - University of Missouri researchers studying breast cancer found a new food ingredient can help prevent the ailment.

Researchers found that a common spice in Asian food, curcumin, prevents breast cancer in many rats treated with hormone replacement medications. It also reduced the amount of tumors and delayed their onset in cases where they did occur.

The study focused specifically on females with a uterus taking both estrogen and progesterin. Consequently, its results do not apply to women who have undergone a full hysterectomy.

Curcumin is a spice derived from the turmeric root and often sold in health food stores as an extract and supplement. It can also be found in curry, mustard and many Indian dishes.

Rats in the study were given estrogen and progesterin, the conventional medication battery for post-menopausal women. Health risks from hormone replacement, namely breast cancer, have been a source of serious concern in recent years. This new discovery may be the key to the problem. Lead MU researcher, Salman Hyder, says final clinical trials in humans are needed to confirm the new findings, but it looks promising.

Curcumin and turmeric root are already popular herbs at stores like Clovers Natural Market in Columbia. One employee, Noah Earle, says the herb is high in antioxidants and customers seek it out for its believed preventive and healing properties.

While the final word on breast cancer prevention remains to be written, Hyder says almost anyone could benefit from taking curcumin.
