As a matter of fact, a 2009 study by researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center applied piperine (a compound found in black pepper) and curcumin ( a compound found in turmeric) to breast cancer cells in a laboratory dish. The spices, when used in combination, reduced the number of stem cells and did not harm normal breast cells. Its broad medicinal uses are due to its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antioxidant qualities.
