Tumeric good for keeping away Alzheimer ’s disease?

From Alzheimer's Notes:

Did you know that Alzheimer's Disease is less common in India than any other part of the world?

Some researchers think that this is because of the everyday use of the spice Turmeric. Tumeric is a powerful antioxident which also has anti-inflammatory powers.

Practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine have been using it for centuries to treat inflammatory disorders. But it is only in recent years that scientists have been studying it's effects on the brain.
