why are you asking ?
why only tumeric ? given that every other vitamin/supplement is touted as being
a 'cure for cancer', and etc, and etc, and etc
my experience with tumeric is cooking a 'curry', it's a staple ingredient added to
most curries and the best way to experience it is during the cooking process
at one stage one adds usually several spices to oil heated in a frying pan, something
not to be missed but unfortunately missing when the curry is eaten by others, the
aroma that is released - bursts out in a rising cloud of exotica makes all the preparation
and cooking of a curry so worthwhile
unfortunate the after effect is that 'curry smell' that's not so pleasant, bit like the
after effect of cooking fish or cabbage, so one has to look to the eating of the curry
as the payoff
and curries freeze very well, so cook up more than the minimum and freeze the
rest. freezing does a lot for some prepared/cooked foods since it will concentrate
the ingredients - you'd need to research the how/why of that, but you can definitely
taste a , , , won't call it improvement but additional enrichment
don't know whether cooking and or freezing changes the active ingredient in tumeric
so far as vitamins/supplements go they are unregulated and as such their ingredients
are notoriously questionable to say the least
while tumeric doesn't itself come into the v/s category, one Has to use due dilligence
to determine what Exactly are the ingredients being used in the v/s and what are
their amounts
also does the v/s/foodstuff require a catalyst ? such a catalyst for food, certainly
for curries even 'sweet' curries is salt, and whatever it does, without it the curry is
'missing something' regardless of all the many ingredients that comprise the dish -
don't have the info on hand but 'women need calcium' for instance is useless without
knowing what type of calcium and what other chemicals and catalysts are required
in order to process the 'calcium', for an uptake to occur
remember 'is it live or is it Memorex ?'
is it the v/s/foodstuff/drug or is it the placebo effect ?
