The benefits of curcumin are certainly no secret since it has been used in Asia and the middle-east for the past 5000 years yet science is uncovering new uses every day.

The many benefits of this wonderful spice include:

• Antioxidant

• Anti-Inflammatory ( natural COX-2 inhibitor)

• Antiviral

• Anti-Bacterial

• Antifungal

• Anti-Cancer (esp. brain cancer and melanoma)

• Protection against Alzheimer's disease (by preventing amyloid buildup)

What a great excuse to eat more Indian food!
