    I've no comment on the autoimmune issue, but a very low carb diet is much better at eliminating inflammation.

    Seems unlikely as a general statement given this: https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/foods-that-fight-inflammation

    Your link is not specifically on point.

    Turmeric as well as omitting dairy and incorporating a plant based diet are helpful with autoimmune disease & inflamation.

    Dr. Greger's site isn't considered a reliable resource around these parts. He's big on cherry picking data.

    Indeed, dairy has positive results if one is not lactose intolerant (most of Northern or Western European ancestry are not), according to the DASH protocol.

    my husbands diabetic so he can't take turmeric, do look it up to see if there are interactions

    Pretty much just with anti-platelet meds (additive bleeding risk); though tons of diabetics are on drugs like clopidogrel, prasugrel, brilita (ticagrelor), lovenox, heparin, warfarin, cilostazol, aspirin, anegrelide (rare now adays), xarelto (rivaroxaban), eliquis (apixaban), sayvaso, betrexxa, pradaxa (dabigatran), etc.

    Also NSAIDs & SSRIs (again bleed risk)

    Our doctor recommended this spice for an autoimmune disorder/inflammation. I just used it on a zoodle and salmon stir fry and it was great. Going to roast cauliflower with it later. Does anyone have experience with it for health purposes? Or take a pill form?

    My mom loves it I've been giving her whole organic tumeric with her smoothies I personally believe that eating the root will always be more beneficial than eating it as supplements since it involves processing.

    And also if you should check out the golden milk really cool drink and has a lot of antioxidants and curcumin.

    Ps to increase curcumin also ways add black pepper/peppercorns (ceylon preferably) with your tumeric.

    Yes...the addition of black pepper makes the turmeric/curcumin absorb much better. so glad you mentioned it. Also.. turmeric also crosses the brain blood barrier and helps to reduce plaque in the brain. eat it..combined with black pepper and often.

    Most studies are done by companies selling supplements instead or on the whole plant but there is some that were done on the whole plant which are quite interesting.

    Of course seek out the advice of a medical professional, but everything I'm seeing is showing that turmeric has incredible benefits with diabetics.
