Curcumin, the key chemical in turmeric, has been shown to possess very powerful health-promoting properties. Recent research has even found that curcumin can prolong the lives of fruit flies by 75 percent.
While the research was done on insects, it highlights the life-promoting aspects of this powerful substance — along with mountains of other scientific research.
The findings also shed light on how curcumin can slow the development of Alzheimer’s and dementia. This research provides a potential explanation of why rates of dementia are less common among the elderly in India, where turmeric is widely used in the production of spices.
