Curry, Anyone?

The past few days have seen the usual proliferation of new studies on health benefits. Of particular interest have been two studies on how good eating curry may be for you.

A new study indicates that the Indian spice circumin, the main flavoring of curry powder, derived from the tumeric plant and not to be confused with cumin, helps prevent Alzheimer’s, confirming an earlier study.

The second study reports that circumin can help prevent cancer, also confirming an earlier study.

Here are some more recent reports of interest:

Naringen, a flavonoid derived from citrus fruit has shown tremendous promise for preventing weight gain. ( I may add this to my multitude of supplements!)
