Researchers test antimutagenic agents on people who smoke because they voluntarily have carcinogens coursing through their veins from ci******es. One study compared the antimutagenic effect of curcumin between smokers and nonsmokers.
When the urine of cigarette smokers was added to bacteria, the number of DNA mutations shot up dramatically. The urine of nonsmokers, however, caused far fewer DNA mutations, which makes sense because they have fewer chemicals running through their systems. What happens if turmeric is eaten every day for a month? Not much for nonsmokers, but, for those who do smoke, the mutagenic potential of their urine noticeably decreased in just 15 days and dropped even more by day 30.
This was the result of less than one teaspoon a day of plain turmeric, just the spice you can buy at your local market, indicating that dietary turmeric is an effective antimutagen.
There’s an even more effective antimutagen than turmeric, though, and that’s not smoking. The DNA-damaging power of smokers’ urine exceeded that of nonsmokers even after eating turmeric for a month.
