[QUOTE="Re-Ride, post: 91508, member: 8395"] Turmeric processed dry spice powder, yet another fad that may do more harm than good. First of all the curcumin content of the average spice powder is less than 5%. To achieve the serum levels of curcumin cited in studies associating curcumin with a positive outcome one would need to consume table spoon upon table spoon of processed spice powder. And one would also need to consume that with piperine or fresh black pepper plus fats since curcumine is not well absorbed at all. O.K. so now we are consuming one tenth of a pound of powdered spice product per day with fats and black pepper to hopefully achieve the same serum levels mentioned in studies the results of which are questionable. What of the heavy metals? Labeled organic means nothing when it comes to heavy metals in turmeric rhizome grown in contaminated soil which is the case of most offshore grown turmeric. Any benefit from turmeric is likely found in fresh rhizome which is mostly domestic. You know the farm you know the farmer. I enjoy fresh local rhizome and know how potent it is because after a week I bleed from cuts if I consume more than a thumbnails worth per day. I take 1-2 grams per day of Rx omega 3 which is likely also a factor in reduced clotting. I believe but can't prove that fresh ginger and fresh turmeric rhizome have synergistic benefits not found in powders spices or supplements allegedly containing same. Typically they go in the pot with diced winter squash, lentils or beef stew. Consume with a single malt or good shot of rye whisky for ultimate benefit. I enjoy turmeric powder spice from time to time for the flavor when I'm too lazy to shop for real food or prepare it. I laugh my arse off at the folks tormenting themselves with tea or "golden milk" made from spray dried spice produced from processed rhizome grown in contaminated soil. They think they have found an economical superfood. How nice. [/QUOTE]
