I bet most of you are like me and don't eat Indian food everyday. In fact being Indian-American, I still eat "local" stuff like pizzas and omlettes, and also love panini sandwiches like this one my brother made.
![]() Some of you may feel the Healthy Indian Diet is all-consuming, that it will tell you to make drastic changes in what you eat. But this isn't true. Actually, I'm a fan of mixing things up. I bet most of you are like me and don't eat Indian food everyday. In fact being Indian-American, I still eat "local" stuff like pizzas and omlettes, and also love panini sandwiches like this one my brother made.

![]() Turmeric (haldi in Hindi) is the quintessential spice in the Healthy Indian Diet (and most South Asian diets) thanks largely to Ayurvedic practitioners of long ago, who recognized it's benefits to human health. Today, scientists are running clinical trials incorporating curcumin, the bioactive molecule in turmeric, as medicine. So far, the results have been promising. M.D. Anderson in Houston, one of the largest cancer hospitals in the world, has been a hotbed of such research. One trial studied the outcomes of 25 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, one of the worst cancers to be diagnosed with, who were taking curcumin and nothing else -- as in no chemotherapy! Researchers found cancer growth stopped in 2 patients. Actually a large liver tumor in one patient shrunk by 73% in their estimation. (Other tumors in that patient did however grow.) You can read about the trial here. The actual manuscript describing the trial can be downloaded off the McCormick Spice Institute's website. ![]() “I have eliminated refined sugar from my diet and eat as little as I possibly can,” Thompson told me, “because I believe ultimately it’s something I can do to decrease my risk of cancer.” Cantley put it this way: “Sugar scares me.” These words aren't from obscure researchers. In fact, Dr. Craig Thompson is president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in NYC, one of the largest cancer hospitals in the world, and Dr. Lewis Cantley is the director of the Cancer Center at one of Harvard Medical School's hospital systems, and the quotes come from Mr. Gary Taubes' essay in the NY Times Magazine titled "Is Sugar Toxic?" |
