Re[2]: Re: Curcumin- The European Journal of Cancer Article

[Guest guest]

Hello Me,

Oh, I should add that curcumin promotes the production of the

glutathione S-transferases which, in turn, cojugate curcumin with

glutathione. Keep in mind that everything gets detoxified, that's why

we have to keep taking things (supplements). The " mission statement " of the

cells

is to, eventually, get rid of everything that they take in.

Isn't biology wonderful?

Mike, again
