Move this right along, boys and girls. I am not getting any younger, yet.
Bkmrk.
I love curry!.......................the spice, not the basketball player................
Oddly, Pfizer just announced yesterday that they were DISCONTINUING research into Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s medications...................hmmmmm..................
I take 30mg of curcumin daily.
I wonder what the prevalence of Alzheimer’s is among populations that eat lots of turmeric and curry foods their whole lives?....................
Word is that they have a mitochondria disfunction which causes the oppressive fatigue.
Or Fibromyalgia .................
Do you buy it in capsules? Does it cause heartburn?
Yes, capsules. No heartburn.

I have often wondered if taking ibuprophan might be a cause of fibromyalgia.
3% in rural India vs 19% in rural Pennsylvania
Rural India has the high turmeric/curry diet.
30 mg is not a high dose of curcumin. 400mg is a common dose in other products.
The lady who reportedly defeated her blood cancer with curcumin (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5258742/cancer-patient-67-beats-the-disease-with-the-help-of-turmeric-after-five-years-of-chemo-failed/), takes an exceptionally high dose of 8,000 mg (8 grams) per day.
Curcumin is also a powerful anti-inflamatory, if you have arthritis. It is a powerful anti-oxidant. 1,000 mg (1 gram) per day was shown to be as effective against depression as prozac.
“3% in rural India vs 19% in rural Pennsylvania”
Not to downplay the possibility that Turmeric and and Curry may have significant health benefits, but the average lifespan in rural India is late 60s versus late 70s in the USA.
This is also the age when symptoms of dementia become more prominent and diagnosable.
“3% (incidence of Alzheimer”s) in rural India vs 19% in rural Pennsylvania”
Life expectancy is much lower in rural India, so some number may just die of other causes, before they might have developed Alzheimer’s.
Notwithstanding any potential confounding factors with that, the results published in the Nature article are dynamite - Nobel Prize potential.
That has already been accounted for in the calculation
