MMMMMMM Curry.......
The Spice Girls making a contribution! Awesome! Um... which one was Curry?
LOTs of research using curcumin —the main challenge is bioactivity or absorption, which is quite low.
You have to consume it with bioperine or piperine, and apparently to do so in some type of fat is important.
Curcumin shows positive effects in MANY MANY maladies —too many to mention here.
They’re also looking into expensive nano-adjuvant stuff for boosting absorption.
This is also supposed to help with Alzheimer’s symptoms. My friend started using this with his mom and has noticed some improvement. She no longer asks the same questions over and over throughout the day.
Back in the 70s, they said Red Dye # something would give you cancer. The only thing was that it would have taken several train cars full of it to do any harm. What’s the amount of tumeric would one have to ingest before it did any good?
That’s good, because I LOVE Curry!
Who is old enough to remember the old Mustard Plaster? My dad used it on his back...yellow like curry....
I just started taking curcumin a couple of days ago. Warning: take with food. Otherwise, it can be nauseating. I have allergies and thought the anti-inflammatory properties of the curcumin could lessen the symptoms. I think it might help, but I am very prone to benefitting from the placebo effect, so I won’t know for awhile I guess.
Also, I have a pet theory that curcumin may be why so many Indians are smart.
