Doctor Oz said that saffron comes from the inside of a crocus plant, and it is the “gold standard” for spices. Saffron helps to fight off cancer. Dr Oz explained that cancer cells grow through bringing and building their own blood supply in your body. The saffron can actually enter the cancer cells and send a signal that causes the cancer to “commit suicide.” Dr Oz even said that saffron may be the cure for cancer in the future. Saffron is not a cheap spice, it is around $10 per jar, but you only need a small pinch.”
