      I do so much non-evidenced base health stuff for myself in my own life but somehow haven't created a religion out of it and don't rage at anyone on social media who notes the lack of evidence for it. I'm beginning to doubt the existence of my Y chromosome.

      Sometimes I add turmeric to my food so that I can live longer by not eating as many calories because I don’t care for turmeric

      A lot of turmeric has high lead levels but (and almost every food has lead in it nowadays) other than that it’s hard to do much damage unless you inject ithttps://www.forbes.com/sites/brittmariehermes/2017/04/10/confirmed-licensed-naturopathic-doctor-gave-lethal-turmeric-injection/ …

      But it does interfere with Coumadin right? That’s what confused me by bioavailability of the curcuminoids is almost 0 no?

      You’d have to take a lot of turmeric to get that effect. The curcuminoids affect some CYPs and I think have some direct inhibition of platelet aggregation but the doses to get to that would be way beyond food intake or even most supplements. Not sure of many (or any) human cases

      I don't know anything about toxicity, but I do remember that an active dose of curcumin is around 0.4-1kg of turmeric a day. Presumably at that level of intake there are several issues

          Thankfully, no one is injecting the equivalent of 1kg of curcumin 😆! Wait… …No one is injecting 1kg of curcumin, right?
