Ok listen to this.
It's about a new study on curcumin.

This is the largest clinical study that looked at benefits of curcumin (bioactive compound in turmeric) for persons with rheumatoid arthritis.

This was not a run-of-the-mill study. This was well-designed, beautifully executed, double blinded, randomized-controlled trial with 200 patients, followed up for a whole year.

Curcumin, considered the main anti-inflammatory & anti-oxidant component of turmeric, and turmeric are considered hot favorites for fighting diseases like cancer, infections, systemic inflammatory diseases like inflammatory bowel disease and many rheumatic diseases - based on cellular, tissue and small animal and small, poor quality human trials.

But this paper, a well performed, painstakingly designed and meticulously folllwed up study is superior to every other study done on curcumin.

And what the authors found was insane, but not surprising.

Curcumin treatment for maintaining remission of rheumatoid arthritis was as good as no treatment. In simple terms, it was absolutely useless.

It's time the scientific community stop clinical studies featuring curcumin/turmeric. It's a waste of funds, complete waste of human resources and a delay for the need to study better molecules/compounds.

The same goes for application of turmeric over wounds and use of turmeric milk to fight infections, reduce sore throat, and build immunity. It's all grand imagination from great grand parents, handed down generations who have lost the ability for critical thinking. The best that turmeric in milk can do, is color whole milk yellow, and worst, it can give you Lead poisoning.

Even worse, high absorption formulations can give you a new liver because turmeric is liver toxic.

In strict medical sense, turmeric is a waste of your time. But it's a kickass spice in the great Indian kitchen. So enjoy it in your curries, not capsules.

Great work from @drdpshenoy and team on this paper from the Centre for Arthritis and Rheumatism Excellence (CARE), Kochi, Kerala, https://t.co/Xgpdx8fe1f
