Very interesting read, especially since I have been seeing a lot of activity surrounding curcumin. Sounds like there's a lot more packed into good 'ol tumeric!

A little more information...

Being an Indian, turmeric is used in home cooking pretty much every day.... fingers crossed that helps slow down the PSC if nothing else!

There is a lot of pseudoscientific hype about turmeric on the internet, I'm afraid. This is the real scoop:
