Article seemed interesting. BTW ketchup is an excellent source of lycopene, another powerful anti-oxidant.

I love curry but hate cooking indoors with it. It can stink up a house in a way not even roadkill can. Not that I've tried frying roadkill, mind you. Any Texans in the house? :D

Yes, very interesting, thanks. But I can't believe people are still criticizing Reagan's Jelly beans. Clinton was no health nut, he smoked cigars.
To: CarrotAndStick
He often ate dinners at the White House from a TV tray table. What does that have to do with WHAT he ate? Gratuitous insult is what is intended.
It may be curry is helpful, or ginger, both of which I love and eat often, but it's also likely true that the gene for vulnerability to Alzheimer's is not much in India.

"Clinton was no health nut, he smoked cigars." And ate everything in sight. I sincerely doubt if he developed a taste for Indian food -- he was just hungry at the time.

No wonder Clinton is so young looking he's eaten enough Rosemary to kill a donkey!

Yes, that was an insult. This is an Indian paper and in Indian culture, eating anything but a fresh home-cooked meal is seen as a sign of not having much class.

He was roasted by critics because his administration once tried to classify ketchup as a vegetable to justify budget cuts. This legend just won't die; the FDA required labels on foodstuffs and it was unclear how one should label a condiment; since ketchup was tomato paste and mainly water it was suggested that it fall within the realm of vegetables. A wag took that out of context, and as they say, the rest is history.
To: CarrotAndStick
Unlike Clinton, who developed a taste for Indian food, Reagan lived on an all-American diet, to the extent of keeping a jar of jelly beans on his table. He was roasted by critics because his administration once tried to classify ketchup as a vegetable to justify budget cuts. He often ate dinners at the White House from a TV tray table. What drivel!
This paragraph had absolutely nothing to do with the article. It's a condescending, sophomoric, lying, gratuitous slam on a great deceased American whom we are currently mourning.
Any real editor would have immediately chopped this paragraph from the markup copy.

Several other researchers have now endorsed curcumin as having neuroprotective and anti-degenerative properties and there is raft of studies underway to determine how precisely to apply it as a prophylactic.
Curry powder as a prophylactic? That would
hurt! >:)
Green tea extract is also a powerful anti-oxidant. But with anti-oxidants we're talking about the basic aging process, not neccesarily Alzheimers. Ron (Jr.) and Patty's appearance suggests that Reagan's resistance to visible aging may be genetic.

Funny, though, Clinton's curry taste won't have any effect on his type of degeneration nor will it ever serve as a prophylactic for any of his sexually-risky behavior. As far as its being neuroprotective, what's there to protect in his case anyway?

I don't believe this, since it doesn't expllain why demency increased exponentially (per 1000 over 65) in the western societies.

This legend just won't dieStrange but true - I once had a dream in which David Stockman explained to me that the schoolchildren of American would not be harmed if ketchup were labeled a vegetable.

You must be using the wrong kind of curry. Try S&B Curry (a gingery Singapore-style curry), with the following recipe adapted from Joyce Chen (a famous Boston-area restaurant owner):
8 pieces chicken (thighs are best!)
1 c. sliced onion
2.5 TBS curry (S&B!)
1 TBS chili powder (1 tsp. of real New Mexico chile will work, to taste)
Brown chicken in 2-4 TBS oil. Remove chicken and brown onions till golden. Mix in curry, chili powder, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to boil and simmer for 20 min. Remove chicken. Add 2.5 TBS flour mixed with 1/2 cup water and 1 tsp salt. Simmer and stir till thickened. Mix with chicken and serve.
My wife's variation is to dredge the chicken with flour before browning, and then leave out the flour later.

"Curry powder as a prophylactic? That would hurt! >:)"It's available in capsule form labeled as "Tumeric." It's a powerful anti-inflammatory as well as an antioxidant. Lots of people take it for arthritis as well.

It's available in capsule form labeled as "Tumeric." Isn't tumeric in pickles?
