Re: Turmeric

There is some evidence that black pepper can enhance the anti-cancer effects of turmeric. One study found that curcumin (found in turmeric) may decrease breast cancer risk by reducing breast stem cell self-renewal. In addition, it was demonstrated that piperine (found in black pepper) enhances breast stem cell sensitivity to curcumin. See:
