LATEST STUDY: TURMERIC (CURCUMIN) HAS NO THERAPEUTIC BENEFIT

The following is from "Deceptive Spice Extract Offers Cautionary Tale for Chemists" published in The Scientific American January 11, 2017:

Inside the golden-yellow spice turmeric lurks a chemical deceiver: curcumin, a molecule that is widely touted as having medicinal activity, but which also gives false signals in drug screening tests. For years, chemists have urged caution about curcumin and other compounds that can mislead naive drug hunters.

Now, in an attempt to stem a continuing flow of muddled research, scientists have published the most comprehensive critical review yet of curcumin—concluding that there’s no evidence it has any specific therapeutic benefits, despite thousands of research papers and more than 120 clinical trials. The scientists hope that their report will prevent further wasted research and alert the unwary to the possibility that chemicals may often show up as ‘hits’ in drug screens, but be unlikely to yield a drug.

For many of us taking Prednisone we also take Ranitidine or a brand name of. Look up drug interactions and you will most likely end the taking of Tameric.
