5 things that have gotten me called a shill, rated by number of accusations: 1. Calling raw milk bad 2. Saying vaccines work 3. Questioning low-carb diets 4. Saying that artificial sweeteners are mostly ok 5. Calling turmeric "mostly useful as a spice"
Well, let's just say that I'm very skeptical that you'd be seeing a therapeutic dose of curcumin from the turmeric in your diet unless you're eating a jar a day!

Very brief re look at the lit: curcumin enhances the expression of phase II enzymes and exerts biphasic effects on DNA damage protecting DNA at low doses (1-5ug/ml) and promoting it at higher doses Ref bisht et al 2015 curcumin resveratrol and flavanoids as anitinflamm compounds

Obv more to study than that but at the time 2 yrs ago I did do thorough lit Rev as someone skeptical of woo Myself. But the benefits of the right diet are still being unveiled. I never underestimate the power of nutrition

Also obv more studies out there just giving a dose example of effects. For full disclosure this one was in vitro. I could find more if I revisited my collection but I’m procrastinating I fear to avoid what I should be doing right now :/

So there's definitely some interesting in vitro effects, but looked it up. Turmeric is roughly 3% curcumin by weight, which is roughly 25% bioavailable. The average dose in vivo clinical trials is ~8mg/kg/d curcumin, which means 8*75*4*(100/3)=80 grams of turmeric per day
