    In which @WebMD goes full woo. A listicles without citations, full of unsupported claims, nonsense about curcumin being a "superfood" that fights inflammation, diabetes, etc. Epic fail!https://twitter.com/WebMD/status/1077723171338498049 …

        Is WebMD is going to the dark side? Beware of sites that put a short article on 15+ pages filled with ads.

        Replying to @gorskon @WebMD

        https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.6b00975 … provides evidence that curcumin is an unstable, reactive, nonbioavailable compound and, therefore, a highly improbable lead.

        Yep. As I wrote about it a year ago when a woman died getting an intravenous infusion of curcumin, curcumin is a a PAINS (pan-assay interference compounds) and an IMPS (invalid metabolic panaceas) candidate.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/naturopathy-and-dubious-compounding-pharmacies-a-deadly-combination/ …

        I felt strange after reading this so naturally, went on WebMD and sure enough, that listicle gave me cancer.
