I had read several posts on these message boards and found them fascination. And since I am learning how to 'COOK' at the ripe old age of 61, I figured, "why not use turmeric"?

I found an old post on this subject and here's an exerpt:

"The information on curcumin is overwhelming now, showing it is a multifunctional supplement, in that it is a powerful antioxidant, anti inflammatory, and heavy metal chelator, to mention but a few."


So I figured "I eat fish, fish has mercury, if I eat turmeric which has curcumin, and it's a heavy metal chelator, maybe it will cancel out the mercury".

Irrational thinking I know but that's how my mind works.

I have never used this spice. But I'll put a dash in my sprout patties and see how they come out.

It's so interesting that I'm learning to cook at my age. God only knows what I'll try when I'm 80!!
