Bill,
You've revived my interest in ground turmeric, which I was advised to saute in olive oil and butter so as to activate its anti-inflammatory properties. Perhaps I'll be able to notice its impact if I eat a concoction each day for a month seasoned with turmeric, ginger, sriracha and soy sauce. I wonder how the manufacturers of turmeric tea and tablets decided on "standard dosage"?
