Curcumin is a flavonoid antioxidant isolated from turmeric, the spice used in Indian curries, among other foods.
It is about as overhyped as any ingredient I have encountered lately for its “proven ability” to fight Alzheimer’s, heart disease, cancer, and anything else that ails you. If only this could be true. If it were, people in India who use this in their cooking would all live exceptionally long and healthy lives.
But to convince skeptics like me—and to sell curcumin supplements of course—the makers of such supplements fund studies.
