The uses of turmeric

No, not a new Arundhati Roy novel. An article in Scientific American about the possible uses of that traditional Indian spice in the fight against cancer.

Now I know why my grandma made me drink that yukky haldi milk as a kid.

I'm usually skeptical of such supposed "breakthroughs." I've seen too many come and go. But for this I'll willingly suspend disbelief. Anything that increases the availability of Indian food in the States gets my seal of approval.
