    Population studies have shown that India \u2013 where people regularly consume turmeric \u2013 has low rates of\u00a0Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Researchers have speculated that the anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin may be partly responsible.<\/strong> (Alzheimer\u2019s begins as an inflammatory process in the brain.)<\/li>\n

  3. Curcumin<\/strong>, one of the active ingredients in turmeric, is an antioxidant.<\/strong> Antioxidants are compounds, often found in plants, that protect the body\u2019s cells from damage caused by activated molecules known as free radicals.<\/li>\n
  4. Laboratory studies have shown that curcumin interferes with several important molecular pathways involved in cancer development, growth, and spread.<\/strong> Curcumin can kill cancer cells in the laboratory, and can slow the growth of any surviving cancer cells. In animals, curcumin has been shown to inhibit the formation of cancer-causing enzymes and the development of several forms of cancer, thus shrinking tumors.\u00a0Studies of curcumin for cancer prevention and treatment in humans are in the early stages.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Scientific studies indicate that curcumin is not well absorbed orally.<\/strong> Consequently, large doses must be taken for even small amounts to circulate in the blood. More absorbable forms of curcumin have been developed. Because curcumin is fat-soluble, it is important to take some form of fat with it for improved absorption.<\/li>\n
    2. Intravenous curcumin is well-absorbed<\/strong> and goes directly where it\u2019s needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
