Good Question

Hi Brenda, Rhonda,

I've seen the possible anti cancer effect research on turmeric which is the active ingredient in the spice Curry. At that time I tried to figure out how much I should use converting milligrams to teaspoons and I got to the conclusion that I can use about one teaspoon minimum every day. I make curry rice often. About the extract I really do not know, but would be interested!

Best,

Odette
