  • SCIENCE BACKED HEALTH BENEFITS
    • 1) Nutmeg can kill harmful bacteria Nutmeg has compounds with antibacterial activity against a broad range of pathogenic bacteria (2, 3, 4). This likely explains the spice’s use in meat preparations, which were prone to food spoilage in the olden days. 2) Nutmeg has anti-cancer activity Nutmeg’s compounds inhibit aspects of a cancer cell’s metabolism thereby killing malignant cells while sparing normal, healthy cells (5). 3) Nutmeg fights inflammation Active compounds found in nutmeg inhibit inflammation by blocking molecular processes such as nitric oxide synthesis (6). Unwanted chronic inflammation is at the root of several modern diseases, making anti-inflammatory foods an area of high interest. 4) Nutmeg is an anti-oxidant In the course of normal metabolism, our cells produce free radicals, which can cause DNA damage, mutations and diseases like cancer. Nutmeg has several active compounds that mop up these free radicals i.e. act as anti-oxidants to relieve cellular stress (7). 5) Nutmeg alleviates pain Nutmeg oil can alleviate symptoms of inflammation and pain in animal models by blocking the production of inflammatory proteins like COX-2, also the target of the all too familiar drug ibuprofen (8). A small human trial did not reproduce this effect (9). Larger, controlled trials are necessary.
