New information on preventing and treating childhood leukemia may bring hope to thousands of sufferers around the world. After researchers noted the rareness of leukemia in Asia, they were able to trace this benefit to tumeric, which is commonly found in curry spice.

Tumeric is an antioxidant that can actually shield DNA from harmful exterior pollutants known to cause leukemia. Tumeric can also block harmful effects of cigarette smoke and it prevents harmful chemicals from forming after eating processed foods. Curcumin, one of the active compounds in tumeric, may be responsible for much of this benefit.
