Turmeric, as I have said is part of Ginger family, which does help to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, studies with animals have shown Turmeric to have similar qualities. Turmeric is listed as generally safe, and it should only be taken as medicine after consultation with a physician, because of its blood thinning qualities, it should not be taken with other types of blood thinning medications like Vitamin E or any prescribed anticoagulant. It will not do any harm taken in small amounts such as you would put in curries or other savoury dishes, Large amounts taken could give stomach upsets. Normal small amounts would be excellent for health, but take caution and qualified advice for larger medicinal quantities.

The extract is much more potent than in raw state and can be at least 200 times sweeter than sugar, and should be used sparingly. It can be added to beverages as well as used in cooking and baking. And, because it does not raise blood sugar levels, may be used safely by diabetics. Although there have been no adverse affects, always check with your health care professional before consuming any product, or if you have any medical problems.
