Tumercin (Misspell?) spice and supplement

[david]

Mods or whomever,

What is the deal with this stuff. I've seen on the news and listed to doctors and their highly recommending this stuff for vairous health reasons etc.

I know it's a spice and I know it's now in pill form.

Question # 1: What does it taste like and what, if any, recipes would you include Tumercin in?

Question # 2: Is their any proven fact to this pill form wise and it's various claims?

Do you mean Turmeric?

 

[Dr. Pain]

Actually you want Curcumin. (see Jarrow Formulas) It has major anti-inflammatory properties and more. Tumeric is the spice form found in curries, dahls, masalas and Indian food.

Turmeric.. Correcto mundo, W8.... so lay it on me if you can!

 

[david]

Bump! Did anyone have an answer for this? Any Chefs out there and nutritionalist?

Dr. Pain,
