Curry spice shuts down melanoma. In the lab, high doses of curcumin -the ingredient that gives curry its yellow hue - killed melanoma tumor cells.
(To be proven effective though, the spice must be tested first on animals then humans.)
Still in all, curry take away is probably doing those pale-skinned and freckled celts and anglo-saxons in England, Ireland and Australia a lot of good.
