Turmeric was once nothing more than a spice in the cupboard you might add to the occasional curry. Yet it’s being hailed as the new superfood that will cure everything from heartburn to food poisoning.
I am not normally won over by such claims about specific foods, but there is something potentially persuasive about this humble spice.
In countries such as India, where they consume a lot of turmeric, they have lower rates of bowel cancer. It did make me wonder: could the two be linked?
