    If this proves to be effective in humans, hopefully their next step would be to concentrate the curcumin in a pill form. :)

    Well, not to be a pessimist, though I believe it'll likely have to take the form of injections rather than pills. The delivery mechanism isn't quite as efficient as you'd hope. I know in testing blood samples with curcumin, it does require a pretty heavy dose.

    mmm...need to eat more curry. Wonder if it reverses the effects of people who are already demented?

    Actually, alzheimers has occurred in my family, so I need to be careful.
