  2. Your comment about turmeric being the next "wonder drug" has a great deal of merit.

    Dr. Sally Frautschy of UCLA did a study which found that diets rich in curcumin (a compound in turmeric) may be responsible for elderly Indians having much lower rates of Alzheimer's disease. She presented her findings at the Society for Neuro Science in San Diego.



    Keep promoting the value of daily use of turmeric.
