9. Turmeric
Sometimes called the king of anti-inflammatories, turmeric is more like the super star of herbs. The main active ingredient, curcumin, not only fights inflammation but has been found in studies to fight against Alzheimer’s disease, and it destroys every cancer cell that it has been tested on. Turmeric seems to know which cells are cancerous and which are not, as it destroys cancer but leaves healthy cells alone.
10. Cinnamon
It’s hard to imagine that anything that tastes so good could be so good for you, but perhaps this is Mother Nature’s way of getting us to eat more of it! Just a half a teaspoon of cinnamon each day can greatly lower your risk of developing cancer. Cinnamon is also loaded with iron and calcium, something most women could use more of. This super versatile spice reduces the risk of tumor growth as it inhibits new blood vessel growth. Blood vessels are needed to provide the tumor with food. Cinnamon also suppresses the growth of H. pylori, which is a bacteria known to cause ulcers, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, and gastric cancer. Get your cinnamon on and add that stuff to everything!

Caution; Use Ceylon over Saigon cinnamon due to Saigon’s liver damaging properties. The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment concluded that you’d need to take about a gram per day — 1,000 milligrams — for six months or longer to be at risk.
