    Hi Stemi. I'm with the policy and research team at BCNA. Regarding turmeric, recent laboratory findings show that dietary turmeric may interfere with the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs such as cyclophosphamide
    and doxorubicin in treating breast cancer. More research is needed,
    but patients undergoing chemotherapy should ask their doctor if they
    should limit their intake of turmeric and turmeric-containing foods.

    Memorial Sloan Kettering has an excellent searchable website on herbs and botanicals, listing the evidence for effectiveness as well as possible warnings and drug interactions. For more information, visit their website at: https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/treatments/symptom-management/integrative-medicine/herbs/search
    You can also find specific information on turmeric here: https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/turmeric

    Best wishes,
