Dr. William Li on the Dr. Oz Show reinforced some of the information we have been reading in other resources. Turmeric is an appetite stimulant, digestion aid, anti-inflammatory, NF-kB regulator. It is especially effective when consumed with a crucerifous vegetable such as cabbage, broccoli, kale, and swiss chard. We typically put olive oil in a skillet and saute onion and garlic with about a half teaspoon of turmeric, sea salt and ground fresh pepper to taste. Tomatoes are also a cancer fighter, as they contain lycopene. We also saute the onions and garlic with turmeric when we cook meats. Lisa and I laugh and hope we are not starting to smell like turmeric.
