Here are links to those other juicy videos I opened up with:

• Which Fruit Fights Cancer Better? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-fruit-fights-cancer-better)
• Best Cooking Method (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/best-cooking-method)
• Antioxidant Content of 3,139 Foods (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-content-of-3139-foods)

See Antioxidants in a Pinch (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidants-in-a-pinch/) and How to Reach the Antioxidant RDA (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-reach-the-antioxidant-rda) to see the extent to which even small amounts of spices can affect one's antioxidant intake.

Another elegant series of "ex vivo" experiments exploring the cancer fighting power of lifestyle changes can be seen in videos starting with Ex Vivo Cancer Proliferation Bioassay (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/developing-an-ex-vivo-cancer-proliferation-bioassay/). 

I cover the DNA findings in Spicing Up DNA Protection (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/spicing-up-dna-protection). And if turmeric compounds are so anti-inflammatory, can they be used to successfully treat inflammatory diseases. Find out in Turmeric Curcumin and Rheumatoid Arthritis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-rheumatoid-arthritis).
