Re: Cautions about Turmeric :

April 23, 2008

Thanks, .

After reading few times about the benefits of Tumeric, i have been sprinkling

the cooking spice as sold in regular food stores over my salads, sometimes. And

in about double or a little more than the amount used in cooking. I am going to

eliminate that from my salads, then.

This article has a warning that " Turmeric should be avoided in

patients with bleeding disorders and bile duct obstruction and should

be used only under the supervision of a physician in patients with

gallstones.[ 6] "

The American Cancer Society similarly notes: " People with bleeding

disorders, obstructions of the bile duct, or a history of ulcers also

should avoid turmeric. "
