I am willing to bet the paycheck that you are not going to get very many American smokers or chewers to use these curcumin tablets. The bright yellow teeth will be too great a turn off. People would be too embarrassed to open their mouths. (Unless some Rap star manages to make it fashionable. After all they managed to make walking around with your underwear showing)

The only people I see using this as prophylactic medicine are those who have already had an oral cancer.

Dr Oz said that if you want to decrease your blood pressure and get away from salt, use the following in a shaker in equal parts. It sounded ghastly to us but we tried it, and it is actually quite good. We use it on our broccoli (which was another of your posted articles this morning!):

turmeric
garlic powder
black pepper
