I used to think my mom was crazy for putting turmeric in her oatmeal every morning. Now I think she might have been on to something (though I will stick to curries, thank you). Turns out turmeric’s anticancer potential may be stronger than thought, according to a new study.

Turmeric is also known for boosting cardiovascular health and alleviating inflammation (including arthritis), and for reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s. More Panang curry for me, thanks!
