Abstract in brief

  • The study was a 9-month trial testing if curcumin can prevent prediabetic individuals from developing type 2 diabetes, with 240 subjects randomly receiving either curcumin or a placebo.
  • After the study, none of the people taking curcumin developed diabetes, while 164 of those on the placebo did; curcumin also improved cell function and reduced insulin resistance and inflammation markers.
  • Overall, the results suggest that curcumin may be a beneficial supplement to help prevent diabetes in at-risk populations, with minimal side effects.]

In the UK millions are donated to patient charities to influence NHS drug decision-makers because they launch several high-priced drugs. This needs to change because they following the money and not the science on Diabetes. https://t.co/AVPzq64E9C https://t.co/MSCY8JnTds

Good analysis of #DrSaladino's video about #Turmeric & #BlackPepper, Saladino confirms that every case of #LiverDamage was caused by isolates of the active ingredient #Curcumin & combining them with Black Pepper causes absorption of 2,000% more Curcumin. https://t.co/WPBH0BDq5E

@Sona_unplugged Very interesting study in the context because India pays a heavy price on diabetes. When we go in search of solutions we sometimes miss the fact that what we are looking for is right in front of us as gold standard evidence for prevention. https://t.co/4GSSWQwKR6

@DrPeterBagshaw Randomized double blind placebo control studies are considered the “gold standard” of epidemiologic studies. Not a single participant in the curcumin-treated group was diagnosed with T2DM. It boggles the mind why doctors do not knows about this. https://t.co/MSCY8Jor30

Circumin also lowers blood glucose and raises insulin sensitivity slightly, but this is likely only significant for diabetics. https://t.co/7YeT9Ui2hE
