    ^^^Yes, milk or tea with turmeric. I just made a batch with coconut milk so hopefully it's good!

    Turmeric is a legit anti-inflammatory that is better absorbed with the addition of black pepper. Oz, et al did not make this up, they are just promoting it for their advantage. Golden milk is just one way to consume turmeric to take advantage of it's natural benefit. I happen to like golden milk. There are many different recipes, you can find one to suit yourself. I make mine with almond milk.

    Ive had it before, I like it, I usually only make it to help during my menstrual cycle, but I will on occasion make it during the winter just to have it. It tastes good to me. (I use regular milk though so I've never had it using coconut and/or almond milk).

    It helped me sleep during a bout of insomnia. Definitely going to keep drinking it. :)

    It's, like everything, an extrapolation

    Curcumin, an element of turmeric has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties over extended trials with participants taking 1250-8000mg curcumin

    Each tablespoon turmeric contains 136mg curcumin

    If you like the taste that's a great reason

    But efficacy / toxicity is always dosage relevant

    Yes, the study was on the effects of curcumin and turmeric has relatively low amounts of curcumin in it. But as mean_jeannie pointed out Black pepper does help in the absorption of curcumin in the body. Now, of course, I'm no expert but I think a prolong use of turmeric is highly beneficial and I haven't read otherwise anywhere.
    I've tried Spiced Golden Milk and it is good especially in mending physical injuries and relieving muscular pain.

    Wow, here in India, adding a pinch of turmeric to warm milk is a common housewife's remedy for curing colds and coughs. Didn't know its all rage now

    I meant the same when I was talking about a prolonged use. As the studies suggested that over a course of time may prove beneficial citing the example of its use in India.

    The recipe that I found was really good, especially the blend of spices was favorable. Do you make it the same way or is there something different that I could try?

    It's delicious, and I enjoy it probably once or twice a month just as a tasty drink, especially if I'm hungry late at night it totally hits the spot. There are many different recipes, I use 1c cashew milk, 1T coconut oil, 1T agave, 1t tumeric, heat, whisk, enjoy.

    I'm really hoping someone finally discovers the magical healing powers in bourbon and fried chicken.

    I believe there is a national diet that is very similar to that - The Scottish diet. Unfortunately, the life expectancy and obesity rates are not to be aspired to.
