There's no doubt that Turneric is in vogue as far as nutrition writers and purveyors of healthy cooking are concerned,. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and is also a powerful anti-oxidant. Much has been written about its benefits so I looked for a reputable source of nutritional and health information on Turmeric. I came across some interesting nutrition resources and I'm including a link to one U.S. site below

There are also all sorts of claims being made about Turmeric as a possible treatment for Cancer and Alzheimer's. Whilst there is a small amount of evidence to suggest alleviation of symptoms in some cancers there is no science based medical evidence to support these claims.
I haven't found root turmeric for sale yet but the ground spice is easily found and a key ingredient of curry. Puka do a 3 ginger tea which contains turmeric and it's lovely.
My favourite turmeric recipe at the moment is from the Deliciously Ella blog and I've chosen it because some Happy Clubbers don't eat meat and this sweet potato and chickpea stew is hearty and really tasty, enjoy,
