Curry vs. obesity and diabetes (in mice, anyway)

Findings presented to ENDO 2008, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in San Francisco this week, show that a spice found in curries has remarkable properties when administered to obese and diabetic mice: (It's turmeric. I guess you can eat unlimited amouns of turmeric cos it doesn't taste of ANYTHING!!)

Fresh turmeric tastes, as does freshly ground dried root turmeric. OTOH, the yellow powder that comes in packets and jars is only of use for dying clothing or worktops.

Indeed. It's killed many of my shirts.

The yellow powder in packets always tastes of earth to me...

Well, wouldn't you know it. Turmeric is the one spice I have a violent physical reaction to (nausea). Damn.

Spicy foods increase your metabolism and have a small contributing effect to weight lose. Pity most recipes also contain things like cream for that uneven balance.
