Curry Is Good For You

The BBC reports on a welcome study from the Royal College of Psychiatrists that curcumin, a key spice in curry can help fight against and prevent Alzheimer's. There is lower rate of the disease in Indian cultures and experiements on rats have shown that the protein plaques in the brain associated with the disease were both prevented and removed using doses of the spice. A medical dose is 100 grams which is more than you find in a typical curry, but eaten once and twice a week, together with a balanced diet and regular exercise could be a useful preventative measure. The idea of a Vindaloo pill could be quite appealing.
