The researchers said that in the isolated a component of turmeric, can produce symptoms of senile dementia specific inhibition. Turmeric is an Indian curry powder to make significant yellow color of spices. University of California, Los Angeles, Milan.

Fee Allah team in the “National Academy of Sciences,” the authors said they had earlier that curcumin may affect patients with Alzheimer’s disease brain cells. They separated out “two to methoxy curcumin”, and make sure it is the most active ingredient curcumin.

Them from the Alzheimer’s patient’s blood samples found that 2 to methoxy curcumin can enhance called “macrophages,” a kind of immune cells (responsible for engulf and destroy deformed cells and the fight against invaders such as bacteria or viruses), thereby Elimination of “β-amyloid?” proteins, which β-amyloid? blocking Alzheimer’s patient’s brain, killing their brain cells.

The researchers also said that we do not know whether humankind can eat enough curcumin to achieve this level of activity, but they said as long as the approach by injecting, you can easily make to reach an active level of dimethoxy curcumin.

Some studies have shown that people who eat plenty of curry, may be less prone to cancer or Alzheimer’s disease, as this is not the role of curry, then not yet clear.
