[ExI] Turmeric health claims fraudulent

[Stuart LaForge]

I just wanted to pass on a bit of information that seems to be  
under-reported by the media. The supposed health benefits of turmeric  
are apparently a complete sham. The main proponent of the use of  
turmeric/curcumin as a health supplement was a biochemist at M.D.  
Anderson named Bharat B. Aggarwal. He has since had 28(!) of his  
research studies retracted for falsifying and reusing data. After  
years of trying to reproduce his research, drug companies have  
declared curcumin a false lead and they are not going to waste any  
more of their money on it.
