I looked into this a bit – it seems that it is the spice turmeric – which is used in curry – that has been the subject of several studies. I haven’t found anything that seems that state this as an absolute fact, but it sounds like the early evidence definitely suggest that turmeric reduces the presence of amyloid in the brain – amyloid is what causes Alzheimer’s.

That’s really interesting. I actually have quite a few Indian friends. I’ll have to ask them about this.

Alzheimer’s runs in my family so for the last year and a half my mother has been slipping curry spice into my dad’s meals. According to a recent study, there are few cases of Alzheimer’s in India, where curry and other spices abound. Personally, I prefer crossword puzzles, but curry is good.
