Reply #155: Remember Bhopal, poverty, filthy water, plus... [View All]

Pollution and filthy living conditions account for higher death rates from cancer. More serious toxic exposure and polluted water.

But in fact just eating turmeric may not be enough to get it where it needs to be in the system to be bio-available.

Adding black pepper, however, as I said and linked to the study upthread, increases the bioavailability 2000%.

Learning HOW to eat the turmeric matters.

As for India's cancer rates, I would imagine that things like Bhopal and corporate greed causing mass carcinogenic pollution is the reason.

Most industrial states have better protections, i am sure. Lack of clean potable water is probably the worst (most important) factor.
