5. If you like turmerric, by all means season your food with it.

However, until studies are complete and the refining process is overseen by the FDA, avoid the health food concentrates. While a few companies try to refine curcurin the safest way possible, many more companies out there are shady as hell.

I say this because random assay of a lot of health food supplements and concentrates found that the herbs were most often not what was on the label and the concentrates were contaminated with a lot of things you don't want. Some have even been found to be contaminated by prescription drugs, something you'd need to tell your doctor if you knew they were in there.

The herbal supplement industry has successfully fought regulation for years, so caveat fucking emptor.
