I agree with most of the information given in the article about spices except that without understanding the right amounts in which the spices and chili can be safely consumed it can lead to some rather unfortunate/opposite consequences. The author fails to mention that Chillies and spices should be used in moderation. Especially, excessive chili consumption has been known to increase acid secretion, cause irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion and even diarrhea.

Tumeric is a natural anti-staph agent. Those who consume it on a daily basis will never have an MRSA infection, plus it does not get resistent.

If you like Indian food, or if you don’t know if you like Indian food but are curious, I encourage you to cook it yourself! Buy a cookbook. I recommend Madhur Jaffrey (sp). Find an Indian grocery near you. You’ll get better prices on the ingredients than at your local grocery, AND you’ll find everything you need. Buy a coffee grinder that you will commit to the grinding of spices and nothing but spices. Know that it can take several hours to make a meal (due to veggie prep), but it really depends on what you choose to cook. Don’t be afraid to substitute ground beef for lamb. Buy your naan at the grocery. Know that there are few things better than a freshly cooked Indian meal. The veggies are fresh, the spices are fresh, and the aroma will send you spinning. Open a bottle of wine, and have a great time!!

I serve home-cooked Indian meals all the time, and we have friends who will only come for dinner if it’s Indian!! Who knew we were actually doing a service? Yea!

Turmeric has healing properties. So whenever anyone gets a cut from a sharp knife while cooking/cutting, we immediately put a pinch of turmeric and press over the cut. The blood stops oozing. It works !
