Just what I was thinking. But there is this southern state in India, Kerala, where average life expectancy is comarable to those of the developed world. But even there, instances of the disease are low. This too can be accounted for by the fact that, meal-per-meal, people of this state consume more turmeric than any other in India.It is one of the largest producers of turmeric, if not the largest.
comarable = comparable
those = that
