Turmeric No Longer So "Superfood"

Turmeric has recently become warm conversation in the western hemisphere. These herbs believed to have health benefits. But apparently the latest research does not prove the efficacy of it.

A recent meta-analysis against 120 clinical trials and 5,000 published studies concluded that there was no serious doubt significant benefits of turmeric.

A group of researchers led by Kathy Nelson, a researcher from the University of Minnesota Institute for Therapeutics Discovery and Development found no double blind controlled clinical trials (the best kind of research) to curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, which proved to have an impact on human health.

This news certainly surprising for fans of turmeric that lately many dala add turmeric to drink a latte and a variety of cuisines.

Turmeric gained a reputation as a magic ingredient because of its ability that may help prevent diabetes, prevent heart attacks and even fight cancer.
