Curry fights Alzheimer's

Well, this is certainly great news for us curry lovers:

Professor Doraiswamy said: "There is very solid evidence that curcumin binds to plaques, and basic research on animals engineered to produce human amyloid plaques has shown benefits. Turmeric has been studied not just in Alzheimer's research but for a variety of conditions, such as cancer and arthritis. Turmeric is often referred to as the spice of life in ancient Indian medical lore."

I've heard of turmeric being a pretty useful spice for various health reasons, but didn't know (or didn't remember...ooops) that it might be good for Alzheimer's. Great; I can get into eating more curries!

I had flower-picture-taking opportunities recently. Here are some. Thank you, Mark, for the amazing bouquets you brought all of us last night. One would have thought it was Mother's Day.
