The internet is abuzz with stories about the recent announcement that curcumin, a component of turmeric, had caused fat and weight loss in experiments with mice.
We wrote an article about this, called “Take Turmeric and Curcumin To Lose Weight�, three weeks ago.
Since then, the story has been picked up by a lot of organisations, including the Times of India, the Marie-Claire magazine and the Los Angeles Times.
As you probably know, turmeric is an ingredient in lots of curries.
There’s a long way to go with more tests and experiments planned. Presumably testing on people will take place sometime soon and, if these tests are positive, you can expect a flurry of diet and weight loss products, based on curcumin, to hit the market.
Until then, you can eat a good curry with the thought that maybe you can lose a bit of weight in the process.
