i think turmeric is bs i think it's been sold to us as this magical panacea and we've forgotten the first principles that these things don't want to be eaten in the first place and when you actually dig into the literature what you find is a very unconvincing case for turmeric administration and even worse the fact that is so often administered as lipophilic substances or uh with piperine which could inhibit udp glucuronosyltransferase leave it out of your diets guys throw away your curcumin supplements do not take curcumin in my opinion in any way shape or form avoid this if you want to have it in a curry from time to time fine but it shouldn't be a large part of your regimen it's certainly not a panacea there's no convincing evidence that it's good for you anyway shape or form and i would suspect that it's probably a very clear net negative i'll remind you of the french health agency's recommendation that it could modify your immune system in a negative way
