[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use the turmeric I find in the spice aisle of my local Indian grocers. This is the freshest, purest and most bioavailable form because it is part of Indian and desi cuisine.  Of course, even fresher is the raw turmeric or dried un-powdered turmeric but I digress.

It is my cure-all spice.  It does not cause kidney stones. However, there is a proper Ayurvedic way of taking turmeric - mainly in warm milk or in warm ghee.  It needs the carrier molecules of calcium, D3 and other trace minerals in milk to be bioavailable, and it needs the fat since it is fat soluble.   Turmeric is not to exceed more than 1 tsp a day per person orally. You will end up impacting your BP adversely otherwise. [/quote]

This.

I sprinkle it on foods (almost all of which have a bit of butter in them) all the time.

Turmeric/curcumin also helps with cancer -- look it up! I have a friend who is in a clinical trial for her cancer and they are giving her curcumin. And anecdotally, my relatives in India literally eat food with turmeric every single day, and I've never had a relative die from cancer. [/quote]
