Wards off Alzheimer's disease
Researchers believe that curcumin's antioxidant andanti-inflammatory properties may be strong enough to break down the
amyloid plaques in the brain that contribute to Alzheimer's disease. "If
the blood vessels remain less clogged, then certain parts of the brain
might be fed more easily with oxygen and that would keep the brain
functioning better," explains Hourigan. The Alzheimer's Disease Research
Center at the University of California is currently planning clinical
human trials.
