If that is true, shouldn’t there be a far lower incidence of Alzheimer’s in countries where turmeric is a popular spice?
LOL, did you even read the very short article?
"In countries where people consume a lot of [turmeric], there's a very low incidence of Alzheimer's disease," emphasized Kilham. "In India and Southeast Asia, it's a rare disease. And [in the U.S.] it's very, very common."

That might have more to do with life-expectancy than anything else. One would expect lower Alzheimer rates in countries where the median death age is 60.
