Turmeric (the spice) and Alzheimer’s

I have long been interested in the science of biologicals (organic chemicals that occur naturally in biological systems) as therapeutic agents. Over the years there have been many such stories–probably the strongest evidence is found in the fish oil story within the context of cardiovascular disease. But here (click on the link above) is a new/old wrinkle: turmeric (think mustard and Indian food) as a preventative for Alzheimer’s Disease.
