Re: Turmeric

I have a list of foods that I try to eat on a regular basis, including the cabbage family, as mentioned, bright veggies, berries, legumes, fish with omega 3, cooked tomatoes, garlic, turmeric, etc. On days where I do not have certain foods as part of meals, I do the following, e.g., 1/4 cup of cooked strained tomatoes, a spoonful turmeric, some pepper and a tsp of garlic, minced or strained. I mix it all together, and eat it like I would a cold soup. Tastes not bad, and makes me feel I am helping. I prefer getting the "good stuff" from foods, not supplements, with only several exceptions, eg Vit. D.
