"The researchers got a surprise when they tested substances that bond to iron and copper and could protect NEIL1 from the metals. One of the strongest protective agents was the common South Asian spice curcumin, which also has been shown to have other beneficial health effects.

"The results from curcumin were quite beautiful, actually," Hegde said. "It was very effective in maintaining NEIL activity in cells exposed to both copper and iron."
I just read this great and encouraging article. It supports what so many of us have been concluding. Keep taking that Curcumin! Also, Reverett123, it supports your comparative maps - showing India (high consumption of Turmeric) with a low occurrence of Parkinsons.
