Several scientific papers from MD Anderson about curcumin have been retracted

I know Pub Med has multiple  articles re Curcumin/cancer, but it's never reassuring when you here that the  integrity of scientific papers are questionable.

There are  articles about the effects of curcumin on human tumour cell lines  now in question. Seven papers (5 curcumin related)have been retracted from a single journal.


 Only one note specifies that the correction does not affect the paper’s conclusions.

  1. Some of these places have become overzealous about perusing retractions. Half the figures cited look like reused control bands or sloppy science. Many, many valid papers would crumble when pressed with this type of scrutiny.
