No wonder so few people from India get cancer. I knew it was SOMETHING related to diet. Apparently it's the Tumeric that comes in the Curry spice. Thanks for this important info!

I think that is irelevant, in Mosleys trial they just used store bought Tumeric, and measured the blood indicators before and after, which gave the significant results.He did mention that making its bioavailability by cooking was essential,and also using with black pepper increased the bioavailability many times. So the litle amount of Curcumin in the Tumeric, is made up for because of the way it was prepared to make its uptake more significant.

Its a contest? Gee andhere I thought you wished to discuss the impact of this result. Guess you are not up for objectivity

Eh, you kinda took all the fun out of it, for me, when you went off on the whole "rules of capitalization" tangent... Fyi. That did kinda make it look like it was starting to turn into some type, a very specific type, in fact, of a contest. Can you guess what kind of a very specific, specialized category of contest it is that I am thinking of that it was starting to look like you were attempting to engage/challenge the op to? A contest involving, and named after, a yellowish fluid expelled by all mammals as a waste product, and which has a pungent odor to it? One might even call it, or claim that it contains, biochemicals. Or perhaps not. I don't know everything, and that is ok with me.
I appreciate the mention of curry, just because its nice to have options. But perhaps 1,000 fold is not really necessary, and may even be "too much" with the whole chromosomal telemere repair thing or some other variable aspect of its effects. I take it "too much" was not a thing with the study you mentioned. Anyway, I'll go ahead and stick with "either/or is fine" until I am convinced otherwise.
I would be remiss to neglect bringing up the curious observation that, while you took out the time and were willing to sidetrack the discussion in order to correct OP on a petty capitalization issue, it took Maverick to come wandering in on page 2 for us to be told that telomeres are found on chromosomes, not genes. But biochemistry is your own playing field, your home turf. For someone who seems so keen to correct our OP that you went as far as to correct their capitalization, and yet passed up an opportunity to enlighten us all on something which must surely be a part of the basic ABCs of biochemistry, your chosen field, well, I must say... I'm starting to wonder if you are actually just an English teacher with chemistry and biochemistry for mere hobbies...

Yes its true Indias Cancer rates along with Chinas and Japans, are increasing,its not coincidental that the rises are in line with the adoption of more Western diets.Their Diabetes rates are skyrocketing as well.The Diabetes hammers the immune system.So it will get worse.
My personal belief is that you can put most of it down to Dairy consumption.The "Milk is good for you" slogan along with cheese has killed and maimed more people than the first world war, put in some sugar and you have a growing health apoclypse.

so pill form does nothing?

Actually, it does as long as it includes piperine/bioperine (black pepper - many brands actually come with this mixed in). OR you can chomp a few peppercorns right after you take a capsule and you're good. Also - note that Turmeric is often known as "Curcumin". Sam's Club actually now sells a really large bottle that does have the piperine in the formula and I just decided to try it (have been taking Curcumin/ Turmeric for a while now). It seems to be as good as the super expensive stuff I was taking.
When you look up the PROVEN health benefits (aside from the 'claimed health benefits), Turmeric is amazing. More effective than Bystolic on BP, more effective than radiation for treating superficial skin cancers, more effective than most prescription arthritis drugs (which is why I started taking and can vouch for this one myself). Also, clears the skin, cuts seem to heal faster, seems to decrease fatigue and more. AND it's great for the kidneys and flushing them.

That's actually not completely true.There are over 2,400 studies done on it.
