- Just because something is natural and plant-based doesn't mean it's necessarily safe. Those who are pregnant, have gallstones, or are susceptible to kidney stones may want to moderate their turmeric consumption.

This is the last installment of a 6-part video series on the power of spices in general and turmeric in particular. I started out discussing the role spices play in squelching inflammation and free radicals in Which Spices Fight Inflammation? (nutritionfacts....) and Spicing Up DNA Protection (nutritionfacts..... Then out of the lab into the clinic with attempts to test the ability of turmeric extracts to treat joint inflammation with Turmeric Curcumin and Rheumatoid Arthritis (nutritionfacts....) and Turmeric Curcumin and Osteoarthritis (nutritionfacts..... My last video, Boosting the Bioavailability of Curcumin (nutritionfacts...., discussed ways to improve the absorption of these anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds.
I wish there was more science on wheatgrass. I just had that one unhelpful anecdote in my video How Much Broccoli Is Too Much? (nutritionfacts....) There is good science on flax though. See:
• Flax Seeds For Breast Pain (nutritionfacts....)
• Breast Cancer Survival and Lignan Intake (nutritionfacts....)
• Flax and Fecal Flora (nutritionfacts....)
• Prostate vs. Plants (nutritionfacts....)
• A Better Breakfast (nutritionfacts....)

This channel is called NUTRITIAN FACTS, so I don't understand why people are complaining about him talking about the dangers of turmeric and not pharmaceuticals or medication. It isn't a secret anymore that medications are dangerous and have lots of side effects. That's why people try to find natural cures nowadays. Therefore his work is actually very important, because a lot of us think just because it is natural it has to be good. The fact that we are used to pharmaceuticals and forgot about all the natural remedies is also a reason why we need to be schooled in this matter. We tend to use natural ingredients without any knowledge which also can be very dangerous
I still choose this to pharmaceutical drugs. Viewing the side effects.
Kudos for the Video! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you tried - Tarbbatigan Charter Access Tip (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one off product for learning the secret to reversing your kidney disease without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my GF got excellent success with it.
Thanks for the video content! Apologies for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard about - Hanristian Pectorial Humdinger (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good one off guide for revealing the secret to get rid of gallstones without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my buddy after many years got great success with it.
So get EDJuMEDICATED LADY... .

0:31 I'm glad you covered the "just because something is natural, doesn't mean it's not toxic..." My wife mentions EVERY time we see "natural flavors" added to a packaged food that it could be ANYTHING.
True, even plutonium is natural as well as asbestos. The term natural drives me crazy too.
I agree, these videos are essential. I took a liver detox each day with half a teaspoon of turmeric, unknowingly the turmeric was thinning my blood and caused flooding during my menstrual cycle. I became very ill and anemic. But I carried on, it was my husband that discovered this out years later. It is best to be very cautious, we read about benefits but we should be told about side effects. I have recovered well, thank God, and still take it but with caution and never during my cycle.
Yes! I was taking tumeric because of all the positive things about it. It was a big mistake..made my gallbladder almost turn septic. I would use tiny tiny bit of it in food and tea. Becareful with tumeric..I had emergency surgery I'm pretty sure this was the reason why.
Did u get nose bleeds. Ever since I started using my nose bleeds. I have stopped
Ahah sad. I love tumeric. I'm from an eastern culture so we literally have around 3-4 grams of it daily in our food. We are crazy in love with the spice. But remember just because you can't have one spice or one herb doesn't mean you can't have others. You absolutely can. Always keep it in mind
😮
Wow. Best video yet.
Maybe you took it too much
you can even add to rice when cooking which gives the rice a nice yellow colour,
Just subscribed. Used to take a lot of tumeric with pepper, was Very I'll and in a brain fog, but recently cut back. I agree, everything in moderation. Thanks for advice.
I love spices all kinds as a Somali girl I must have my infusion of spices in my tea each morning, with 2 spoons of Turmeric 2 cardamoms 1 spoon of cinnamon 1 spoon of ginger and 1 leaf of Mint with 2 spoons of honey or brown sugar later add the carnation milk and have a nice day, but you must know spices are only one part of good health we have to move do yoga sleep well have a good positive attitude and make sure we have good social life pray all that makes a healthy life spices are a small part
Cut out the sugar and milk then you have a magic potion there🌸
I have a strong feeling that most of the people calling this video BS either didn't actually watch the video, or watched the video but didn't comprehend it...
The info seemed to go all over the place and you are correct King...I didn't comprehend it!
King well said..
OMG lol! People need to go back to school and learn English!!! All this said is that some people with specific health issues shouldn’t take too much or take curcumin supplements instead!
People just watch it a couple of times maybe then you’ll get it.
Those with gallstones (stones in the gallbladder) or kidney stones (like those with gout) should look to alternative treatments other than turmeric.
Turmeric makes the gallbladder squeeze, which hurts a lot when you have stones hanging out inside of it. The most common kidney stone is made up of calcium oxalate. Turmeric has a lot of oxalate in it. The more oxalate you have in your body, the more chances for it to bind with calcium and make calcium oxalate (kidney stones).
Hope that helps.
Right. It's easy to be mislead by fads, even if they're healthy for the majority. Accept the facts and seek alternatives, don't shut down people who are grounding you in an appropriate manner
i love his voice and how he expresses himself its great,keeps me interested!
if I'm going to take chances on how I'm going to deal with my inflammation I'd always chose curcumin and turmeric over big pharma antiflamatory meds. So I don't know how I feel about this.
+TheMorfin2011 I agree. I'll take my chances on this any day. At least the body can process (eventually) natural things.
+TheMorfin2011 From a book written by a doctor whose name, sorry, is not to hand - three cups of green tea a day, is the answer for inflammation and guarding against spread of cancer cells in the systems of those recovering from cancer.
+Cecilia Ellis i drink green tea but only one cup a day in the morning anything more disturbs my sleeping patterns
+TheMorfin2011 You don't know how to feel about this because you lack the ability to reason.
One of the underlying messages of this video is: although curcumin/tumeric is great, too much of a good thing can be dangerous under certain circumstances so be careful!
First of all I don't lack any ability to reason. Second, to give your opinion and make a point you shouldn't insult the person otherwise anything you say after that loses its credibility. Thirdly, as I pointed out at my sentence the reason I have conflicted feelings about this is because I have a condition that causes inflammation and pain in all my joints. I have to take Anti-inflammatory drugs or supplements daily. If was to take pharmaceutical drugs the side effects would be worse!. That's why I had conflicted feelings not because I didn't understand the video, its underlying message, or my ability to reason. How rude of you!
My mum is taking this with Chemo, her CA 125 has come down from 1,300 to 262...
+Rudolph Hucker That is huge. How is she doing now?
Kenneth Woolard She's finished the Carboplatin now, she had 6 cycles of that, she's just taking 8 Grams of Curcumin a day and Avastin every 3 weeks. Her CA 125 is now down to 66..
Kenneth Woolard The secret is to kill the Stem cells, the stem cells are the mother cells to the tumour cells, the problem with Chemotherapy is it will kill normal cancer cells but leaves the stem cells untouched. Curcumin and Resveratrol kills both!
+Rudolph Hucker Really glad for your mums great progress. it is outstanding and a great testimony for all. Do you use tumeric powder or supplement extract.?
Kenneth Woolard Turmeric is no good for treating cancer, because only 3% is Curcumin, and Curcumin is the cancer killing ingredient.
Oh my god people. Please watch his other videos. He have many videos on benefits of Turmeric. In this video he just points out side effects of over consumption. There are many other herbs that can damage your body when taken incorrectly or taken in excess. As a lot of people have mentioned, Balance is the KEY...
wow this was very informative, I will tell my family member about this because they have a tendency for kidney stones. Thank you!
A piece of turmeric fresh about 1 inch in length eaten chewed along with a piece of molasses (called GUR in India) first thing in the morning without rinsing your mouth on empty stomach -- will work wonders for your liver. ( Ancient Hindu wisdom over 5000 years old. )Take your normal food after half an hour. EXCESS OF ANYTHING IS LIKELY TO BE BAD
Thank you, Moran, I've never heard of that. I'll try it.
I'm sorry, my computer just changed your name. That was not meant to be written.
Thanks moron
Thank you Dr Greger, for continuing to spread the truth no matter how much your illiterate/paranoid audience doesn't want to hear it. I really appreciate it, because I'm not willing to read thousands of studies to find out how to eat for optimum health.
This seems like a really well balanced overview of the ingestion of turmeric. I have seen the light, and am cutting back my intake of turmeric to 1 TSP per day, and forgoing the black pepper. Thanks, Doctor.
Thanks u very much doc kfor thós information😮
Ojno
My solution is, all in moderation and enjoy life and not get too obsessive over the use or lack of. Thanks Doctor, I listened closely and appreciate you sharing this information.
Me too 🙋
Not "all" in moderation. Eating meat, dairies, eggs, smoking and drinking alcohol is always something bad
@@botzer8817 anyone with brain cells knows smoking is never good. Where did I say smoking? Eggs have amazing benefits, look it up and modernize your information. You are living back in the seventies food info.
So overall Turmeric is good for you with possible side effects if taken in high dosages??
I took 1/2 the recommended dosage and got the shits.
"So overall Turmeric is good for you with possible side effects if taken in high dosages??"
That's what I took away from it.
@@keepdancingmaria Yes me too it's just like sugar or salt or anything else for that matter...
I am a cancer researcher whom regularly listens on RUclips to Nutrition Facts. I particularly like the way you speak on RUclips and the visuals at the same time. Well done, I would like to say. well done ! Allen Cohen
I LOVE TURMERIC AND IT'S VERY HEALTHY
Great information. People should be aware of the risks before using any product, including natural ones.
Oh my gosh-cannot tell you how helpful this was!! Exactly the information I am looking for right now!!
I am 86yrs old and have a 1/4spoon of turmeric with hot milk every night n never been to a doc
Cows milk or almond or Coconut milk?
That's good on you, Shelia.
But this video is to point out who shouldn't be taking curcumin and tumeric. It's not saying either are bad.
Sheila Roberts if you combine a 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric with 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, you derive more benefit from the turmeric
Sheila Roberts .. thank you Sheila Aunty
That's awesome news! Praise God!
I just love how unbiased he is. Dr Michael Greger's preamble in the intro put to rest doubts about whether he is just a plant-based fanboy without exception... and this is coming from a reader of his book "how not to die". Big respect
Your videos sometimes show why a little knowledge may be a dangerous thing! Great info and I appreciate the education.
What would it cost for many of us to obtain this info from a professional? Right or wrong he gets us thinking and asking questions. A prime example of the potential of the internet to do more than "entertain" ourselves. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos!!!
Thank you really appreciate the information 👍
Thanks for the information. I intentionally consume turmeric in my natural diet as teas and spices, and make a paste for my skin when I get inflammation. I didn't see this video as a warning not to consume turmeric, but instead a warning to take turmeric supplements responsibly by being completely informed, and better yet, encouraging people to get nutrients as naturally as possible, such as in one's diet. Too much of anything is bad for a person, and this video merely points that out.
The problems is that turmeric is by FAR not the only food with oxalates. Oxalates are found in berries, nuts, green vegetables (especially spinach, chard, rhubarb and their relatives), and beans. So to try and lower your oxalate intake would be difficult. There is a certain bacterium known to break down oxalate though that may be helpful.
There are dozens of health-promoting foods that are commonly found in reference lists of “high-oxalate foods,” but the only ones that have conclusively been shown to raise urinary levels of oxalate are:3
1. beets, spinach, and rhubarb
2. strawberries
3. nuts
4. whole wheat
5. all dried beans
Despite their high oxalate content, there is actually little evidence that restricting the above foods reduces the likelihood of developing calcium oxalate stones. When people with a history of kidney stones were compared with people without such a history, there was no difference in oxalate intake. Similarly, when people with the highest levels of oxalate consumption were compared with people consuming the lowest levels, the risk of developing stones over time was not substantially different. Stone formation is a complex process that involves multiple dietary and lifestyle factors besides oxalate ingestion. In addition, endogenous (made within the body) metabolism of amino acids and other substances accounts for a large proportion of the oxalate that ends up in the urine.6

Presenting the risks and benefits of both curcumin and turmeric for people in different health circumstances was really informative!
Seems like good advice about turmeric. Its been a part of my diet since my 20s. No regrets. The supplements are always another story so do your homework and try things one at a time also be careful about changing so many parts of your diet that you don't know what is helping you most.
Interesting.......and I do not let the "voice" quality prejudice what I am out to learn........the last of the audio about the gallbladder and stones and the gout and kidney stones is valuable ........thank you for the info.....and the rest of audio was interesting too........
Interesting.. I’ve been taking moderate quantities of dried organic turmeric in food & drinks, starting just prior to finding out I had a small gallstone, at the start of the year. I’m pretty sure a particular evening of discomfort is when I passed the stone, 8 months after discovery of it’s existence. I had no idea turmeric affects the gallbladder in the way outlined in this video.. I would caution anyone with a large stone, but mine was recorded (by hi-def ultrasound) at only 3mm, and maybe turmeric helped move it, before it grew to a size too big for the biliary duct. I’ve some kind of inflammatory disorder in many joints large & small, so will continue with turmeric as part of a ‘food as medicine’ approach. Wishing readers good health and happiness :-)
I like this channel a lot - it's refreshing to see facts and graphs rather than opinions and wishful thinking. But at times his conclusions could be clarified a little more.
I’ve always loved this channel going back to rewatching his videos. RUclips doesn’t seem to push them out as much as they used to
You people are unbelievable. This is a balanced video, with a lot of good information using real data, showing that there are risks for taking ANY supplement, as well as many benefits, that should be carefully considered. But instead of appreciating this information, people here would rather stick their fingers in their ears and say "Nananananana! Can't hear you! You're a shill for Big Pharma!" Seriously? Use your intelligence. With ANYTHING, there's a risk of too much consumption. He's saying "Be mindful of the risks here." That's all. But you guys would rather discount this in favor of some stuff on blogs and 2nd or 3rd hand info.
What a gift he is to us. Happy New Year, Dr. McGregor! Love you.
why even waste money on capsule supplements when you can buy a 200 gram bag of ground turmeric in most supermarkets for about £ 1.50 - £ 2.00 and just add a quarter teaspoon to omelets , stir frying, even stir a little into olive oil and drizzle over salad, why do people pay so much more than they have to , to the big pharmaceutical industry's?
Did you seriously just write "add a quarter teaspoon to omelets" on a vegan channel..........?
No not a vegan channel, i got to this through a RUclips link from another nutrition video and yes i don't eat meat but do eat eggs.
omelet. .. eggs hahaha
lmaolol.....noob
Leave the fish alone I reckon
Turmeric, black pepper, ginger and cinnamon in hot milk improved the state of my Herbeden Nodes tremendously.
I've taken curcumin for six months and I can't see any negative side effects. Totally the opposite it seems to do good for inflamations. Of course one must never exaggerate with anything. This is valid for all sorts of food.
except for animal products they are pro inflammatory
There are many non-animal products that are inflammatory as well, as well as animal products that are anti-inflammatory, like f.ex. bone broth which is highly anti-inflammatory.
It's true that large doses of most meats(especially red meat) and dairy products are be pro-inflammatory though.
Broth from bones of animals that have to be bruttally killed of turmeric root hard choice there
Aaron Verran
I didn't put any kind of morality in my statement. I'm just saying. There are, for a fact, anti-inflammatory animal products.
+Hej tarantula poop?
I was having stomach pain due to Crohn’s so I started drinking one spoon organic turmeric powder with half spoon of coconut oil+5 gram slipryelm+Marshmellow root and pinch of black pepper powder + little ginger powder with hot water first thing in the morning and middle of day after or eating 2 hours my cramps is gone and i feel so much better in few days i did take couple more supplements with that.
It's too bad you "shotgunned" it. Adding suppliments one by one to discover their effect is a much better approach. That way you will know which are bothering you, which are doing nothing observable, and which are actually helping you to feel better.
(K (kkkkkkkkkkkkkk (kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This guy is correct,he knows what he's talking about.Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's safe.Too much of anything is harmful.You must learn your dosage and use anything in moderation.Too much vitamin A is harmful,so if you ate too many carrots,you're at risk.If you blended 4 cloves of garlic in 12 ounces of water,it will possibly kill you,because it's extremely acidic;risk of damaging your stomach lining.That would lead you bacterial infection and death.raw peanuts contain mold chemicals that damage the liver,which is why you much roast peanuts to kill the mold.Potato leaves are natural but toxic if eaten,yet sweet potato leaves are edible,and non toxic.Castor beans are natural,but one bean will kill a human and a few more will kill a horse.Even workers gathering the beans become ill,because the beans contain Ricin.Castor beans are used to make castor oil.You people need to have an open mind and stop your ignorant rejection of knowledge.
Yes, M.G. does dig deep into subjects. I recommend you do the same - I`m glad you appreciate an open mind which is needed to learn: Carrots don`t contain retinol. Retinol isn`t even vitamin A, by the definition of "vitamin" which means a nutrient our bodies can`t make themselves. Humans can`t make carotenoids which therefore are vitamins and needed from plant foods. Animal tissues contain retinol, which causes oxidative stress (whilst carotenoids are anti-oxidants!) and cause a bunch of harm in excess e.g. the risk of ATTR amyloidosis in it`s many forms and osteoporosis.
FY: I`ve eaten more raw garlic cloves than that - on a pizza! - and survived. Just delicious!
Mold is unhealthy and shouldn`t be eaten. Fortunately our tastebuds are sensitive to detect that.
There are poisonous plants but eatable beans are very healthy! Actually beans is the most strongly associated food group to healthy old age.
@@soilikasanen Beans are legumes and contain a toxin called pectin. Pectin cause stomachcramps, diarrhea, gas, and loose stools. This is why I don't like, nor do I need beans. There are better sources of fiber than has bad symptoms.
As for eating raw garlic cloves,.thei potency varies, there is more than one type of garlic. If you ate multiple cloves daily, I guarantee you will be hospitalized for live damage within a few months or less,.especially eating potent garlic, not mild garlic.
Vitamin A retinol exist within cod liver oil and within liver consumer meats. This form of vitamin compound is dangerous in excess which varies from person.
Calm down, and stop trying to be so smug/arrogant.
@@Keepskatin I do get upset when disinformation is spread. You're right that there are other good sources of fiber than beans but beans are super healthy. Gut microbiome changes whilst you eat them. The gassy effect is much rarer than thought, it's been studied. I've never had a patient suffering by eating garlic - but suffering from dm, cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases caused by inflammatory diets is common. I don't mean to sound arrogant. I do apologize you got such an impression.
@@Keepskatin He is not smug, just correct. The worst effect from eating too many carrots is a yellow/orange face. This is actually fairly common in babies. Its called Carotenemia.
Thank you for again stating the obvious that people do not realize. A number of years ago, I was debating buying a product & asked the phone rep what the ingredients were because I was concerned about adverse reactions with the meds I was already taking. I was assured that I didn't need the ingredients because 'IT WAS ALL NATURAL AND WOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS', there was a long pause on the line when I told her that hemlock & arsenic were natural, then she finally said that she would connect me to the technical support department!!!

Thank you Dr. Greger! I appreciate all your videos. Not just what they've done to help improve my health, but what you're doing for everyone!
Well, said!
I agree !! I’ve never been drawn to curcumin supplements or turmeric cannot stand the taste of it either. I work in a health shop and we sell ALOT of it ! I always go with what I feel is right for me and know my body. I must have been right as I do have gall stone issues at times...on the other hand I cannot get enough black pepper!!
It’s like that guy who got sick from living on carrot juice and ended up orange man with too much beta carotene. Balance is the key !!
Not only balance but variety of foods we taken
I was eating turmeric with black pepper almost everyday and yesterday in my blood analysis they found calcium oxalate crystals in my urine. Good sincronization.
do powdered and fresh turmeric provide the same benefits? or maybe the fresh one is better?
Yes, fresh turmeric is better, among others because lots of supplements are tainted with lead (they even add it on purpose apparently cause it makes it look very yellow) so you don’t have that problem as much with fresh turmeric (although in some countries the soil it grows in/on is high in lead)
You make the most incredible and informative videos . Thank you so so much
I use raw turmeric roots mostly. I sometimes use the powder. I see now I should watch the amount I use. I am trying to grow my own turmeric.
Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen app recommends 1/4 teaspoon daily of turmeric. I've used the powder form on average about 6 days a week for 16 months. No adverse effects so far.
It's right dose... Without blackpepper for take daily.
@@AbdulMajid-rq4jrDoes turmeric get absorbed in the body without black pepper?
I just got my container of Turmeric powder in today and was going to add 1/4 teaspoon into my daily "concoction" if you will.
it is
16 ounces of warm water
1 table spoon honey
2 tablespoons of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (Bragg's)
1 teaspoon Ginger powder
1 tablespoon of lemon
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
And now 1/4 teaspoon of Turmeric
Anyone see any issues with that mixture?
Anything else I could/should add?
Any advice is appreciated.
seems good but I wonder if the honey is good or bad, I stopped using it 2 years ago. Grandpa believed in honey and lived to 95 healthy almost till the very end
dabigisland1
Working so far, I've since added 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to my concoction.
What are the chances that what works for you might not work for me? You ask a question without thinking about the biodiversity of humans male and female and think your going to get a pat answer. If it was that simple nobody would get sick or die from bee stings yet people die from one sting.
We all seem to have caught on to the 10% adverse effects that big pharma uses to pass the safe for use claim. That is like russian roulette. Enjoy
Medicine is a business with some good results but no cures.
Libertarian1776, everything you use in your concoction is beneficial to your health, be they detoxifying, anti-inflammatory or anti bacterial. Sounds like a great idea. I might try it myself... would be interested to know how it has been going for you.
What about patients who have had their gallbladder removed?
Nothing to worry about then, since there's no gallbladder to cause contractions with.
I use fresh Turmeric root every day, abt 3 inch piece and I have gallstones and I have ever experienced and ill effects from taking turmeric.
I really want to translate his videos into my language. A very valuable information to my people.
What’s your language??
Cannabis, heroin, cocaine, peyote, jimson weed, magic mushrooms, t obbacco and alcohol all come from natural products heroin is distilled opium. Cocaine is distilled from coca leaf. All are llegal or unwise, and so they should be, in the UK at least. Frank.
Dietary citrate can help lessen the effects of oxalate
Thanks DANG JOS! I will pass that along to my friend. Health is Wealth.
I had just been taking one size 000 cap a day, which probably holds more than 1/4 tsp. of turmeric, for about a week and had to stop due to gallbladder pain so that is true. More is not always better.
Gall bladder pain does not necessarily mean it was the turmeric. It could have been too many carbs in your diet as well as insulin resistance.
I know it's been years but how are you now?
I have gout related kidney stones and oxalates do not make them worse.
The only thing that makes them worse is meat, beer, and anything that dehydrates like wine. Lots of water and fruit and I'm good. :) I eat turmeric just fine but stay away from curcumin capsules.
Stay safe and add it to your meal.....that's all I do.
Found this channel bec I had a gallbladder pain attack after eating a thumb-sized organic turmeric. This is the only channel that mensions this.
I tried eating it again the next day but with kimchi. Little pain only.
I read online that cooking & boiling high oxalate foods can reduce oxalates.
I would love to hear a conclusion in your videos. Keep the good work up!

I can't understand the criticisms here, common guys this is a good object report!
I still cant belvie someone would buy curcumine supplement instead of adding tumeric (and black pepper !) to their diet...
Nia LaLa whole tumeric can be hard or even impossible to find, but powdered tumeric should be anywhere really. i would be shocked if all the grocery stores around you don't have it.
Nia LaLa If you live the in the USA, you can get as much whole roots of turmeric and ginger as you want right here: That's where I got mine.

Not everyone cares for the taste of curcumine, also, as a raw foodie I rarely eat straight spices, but it is easy to scoop up a desirable spice into a veggie capsule, or take a good curcumine supplement
In addition to adding black pepper to make it more potent, I heard adding coriander powder (made by grinding the seed of the coriander plant, which is a common Indian ingredient in their curries) is also required.
I have acne/pimples all the time on my face. One gone down, other popped up, it just never stopped. Then I put turmeric powder on my face as a mask, I saw result right away within a week. I fell in love with it and bought turmeric cream and now my skin couldn't get any better! It's a miracle gift what the heck is this person saying? Even consuming it is good for you. It's truth that too much of something is bad but if you know how to incorporate evenly into your health routine then it's just normal. Instead of bashing this herb maybe "someone" can learn the secrets of Asian's ancient remedies. Over in Asia, we have a lot of herbs/medicine plants/fungus that are really good for our health. That's why Asians tend to look younger and have longer life span.
My arthritis flares up when I take turmeric. I'd hoped at first it was a coincidence, but I've tried two more times, and got the same result.
Fresh tumeric?
@@averyt6521 I will see if I can get this at my local veggie market. Thanks for the suggestion. Worth a try.
@@sugarbabylove1000 Hello
Anyone else enjoy watching his videos while stoned? So funny. And I am so into it. Love learning.
I enjoyed your video very much -- intelligent, interesting and informative. Here's my question: I had my gall bladder removed 40 years ago, and my husband has kidney stones. But I want to find something that helps us with brain health and all the other anti-aging things. Will a tumeric or curcumin supplement be safe for us?
Probably taking a small amount 1/4 teasp in water. But not a supliment the dose would be too high. I think that is what the video gets at. And hubby should get more green leafy veggies.
Very important info! Thanks :-)
no people don't trust MDs any more. you guys taught us not to trust. stop trying to protect big pharma at the expense of human lives
Thanks doc!!! I haven't started using either one yet but the info helps.
Great and sensible review here. I am intrigued by how potent ordinary herbs and foods can be if used therapeutically (and with skill and proper knowledge). On the other hand I am equally disappointed by the amount of well-written but nonsense comments below. The complaints are completely misplaced. Go and post your opinions and inputs on the BIG pharmaceuticals websites and forums ok? You took the wrong door dudes.
I use it in the raw form in my juicer twice a week,accidentally stumbled on it.Ive had really bad inflammation sense 2000.due to a back injury .oped not to have a back surgery against the doctors advice wanting to get there hands on my money.they said i would never be able to to hard physic activity again if not.you can tell they was wrong just by looking at my photo.a piece about the size of your big toe twice a week ,no pain no inflammation.
all doctors know are pills and surgery not preventative medicine and natural remedies nice to know you're doing better
He's confusing curcumin with turmeric. Isolates are always quesionable.
how does curcumin or grapefruit pectin help out with a heart artery blockage and how quickly does grapefruit pectin work and does this have an affect with their medications that the hospital is giving them currently?
Can I cook with or take turmeric powder and pepper if I have had my gallbladder removed??
Just drink distilled water with a fresh lemon and lime squeezed into it daily,it dissolves any stones that might be forming in the body anywhere,then you can have your turmeric and curcumin.I have my gallbladder removed and I eat lots of turmeric and curcumin no problem.
+stabilisedchaos Thanks very much!!
+stabilisedchaos but if someone still have the gallbladder , will drinking the distill water with fresh lemon juice remove the stone? Thank you.

Yes,I got my gall bladder removed,but if I had the choice again I would stop eating fatty food and drink 2- 4 liters of distilled lemon and lime water every day.it's very hard to give up junk food but at least once per day I get diarrhea because my gall bladder is gone,it is worth giving up bad food just to be normal It must be a fresh squeezed lemon and lime fruit.It travels all over your body and dissolves any stones or plaque it finds.I exercised very hard for many years,it made my gall bladder dehydrated,the gall bile inside concentrated and allowed crystals to form-this is the start of a gall stone,they grew until they blocked my bile duct and I was in a lot of pain,it is really bad,like someone twisting all your muscles tightly,my pancreas also got infected,it was too late for me to act,I had to get it removed.Hopefully to anyone reading this it will help,drink lots of water when exercising,minimum 1 liter,when you are finished start drinking lemon and lime water,it will replace lost electrolytes,hydrate you and stop stones forming.Don't believe the stories about lemon and lime water dissolving teeth enamel-these are lies to stop you being healthy.
These are the best videos on RUclips and our world would be a much better place if everyone watched them!
if you think tumeric it is so horrible why do people in India average 2 & a Half grams a day eating it in normal food and they have the lowest cancer rate in the world ,also they have the lowest heart disease in the world?
hi, thank you for the info:) I have started taking 3 teaspoon of turmeric paste (that i made with turmeric powder) in soups, shake and turmeric almond milk at night, I would like to continue till Christmas!!! I have severe whole body inflammation due to auto immune disease, what do you think? thank you
Far too much
Just tell us one allopathic medicine that DOES NOT HAVE A SIDE EFFECT ! doctor !
What is the difference between an effect and a "side" effect?
Glad I discovered your channel! Interesting and well presented- thank you!
Thanks so much for making this presentation of the possible concerns for misuse of this herb.
THANK YOU also for pointing out the overly misused and misleading use of the term 'natural'. Of course my favorite analogy is that Hemlock and Poison Ivy are also natural.
As far as DNA damage is concerned, are you saying that turmeric damages DNA structure? I know the DNA equation is vast but in my limited understanding of DNA, it as a living document that under continuous change and adjustment. These changes are activated according to exposure of all types, whether it be by consumption of food, vitamins and pharmaceuticals, or thoughts we think, activities we perform, and even exposure to radiation including EM and RF from cell phones and other sources as well as other forms of radiation. Is what you are calling 'damage' actually destructive as implied or is it simply constructive change? I would like you to expound on this important aspect as the slide and narrative really say very little about what you are implying.
I would also debate the amount of turmeric consumed in the Indian culture. If you ever been to a laundromat in San Francisco or invited into one of their homes, you may retract that statement. The wonderful smell or turmeric is everywhere and hit the high olfactory sense without mistake.
I consume well into the 2 tablespoon daily range combine with a small amount of black pepper and ginger. For me anyway, turmeric has been a godsend that far exceeds the effectiveness of any anit-depressant and anti-inflammatory that big pharma has provided. In addition, I am consuming it topically as a body wash. Hopefully though your presentation will help keep the cost of turmeric low by scaring away buyers.
I would really like to see a concerned citizen, industrial leader, or other party involved in the health and well being of humanity discuss more pertinent and realistic concerns, like the dangers of daily exposure to sodium lauryl sulfate by sublingual and subdermal ingestion (I reiterate DAILY), or the connection between long term use of xanax and dementia.
Many plants are including potatoes as they become deadly nightshare if you leave in the ground more than two years if you fancy atropine poisoning. The Atropine from deadly night shade is not used in medicine by the way , this is something manufactured to treat those with Parkinsons, so don't go leaving your spuds or peelings or any part of the plant in. One black berry is enough to kill. You even get iriritation if you rub against the leaves. So be very careful. The ripe berries go everywhere. So before they ripen remove plant.
Take IMPERVIOUS gloves and plastic bag with you DIG UP ENTIRE PLANT put straight into the bag without shaking mud off, take off site and burn DISPOSE OF WASTE THOROUGHLY AND PERMANENTLY.
As well as that, You might not get all the tubers up in one go, so keep at it year on year double dig bxxxxxd trenching each time till all gone beware where your getting manure from, too, always leave it to ferment upto 6 months, before double digging in. Fermenting manure burns so it will reduce in height and dont put raw, near anything wooden or itll catch light.
cow manure best as eliminates most weed seeds in cows 7 stomachs but highly pungent and may contain harmful heavy metals and hormones. That the cow was fed on.
Frank the Gardener.and guitar plunker and plonker (mostly that).
I agree
I drink every morning on empty stomach 2 shots of ginger/turmeric juice freshly squeezed with a dash of black pepper and lemon juice. Is that ok?
Add virgin coconut oil
Great information. Is it safe to take a turmeric or Curcumin supplement (low dose) if you have had your gallbladder removed? I've not seen this addressed anywhere.
Thank you for this informative video. Appreciate the research you put into it.
Thank you for the precious information Dr. Greger! 🙏 what do you say about adding peptide ( black pepper) to increase absorption of turmeric?
My mother suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, gout and has one kidney. Should she be taking a turmeric supplement?
Bla bla bla.. Come to the point!
So, does that mean I should not be taking a teaspoon + a day of the 5 pounds of the spice I bought last week?
yeah, Im sure I would have been better off taking all the prescriptions my Dr wanted to give me. when I was doing better he said it was the drugs. I never told him I sheet canned them
Like your videos more scientific,clinical with a human humorous touch.
wow freaking too much talk ----come to the freaking point
+Chandra Dasa The video is slightly less than 6 mins. long. Is that much talk?
buy supplements is the freaking point,,,
I was using 'high dose' Tumeric for my back pain(i was effective) because I could not use NSAID (uclers). I used up to 20g a day, but usually 6-10g for two weeks couple times a year, for few years. I think I demaged one of my internal organs as I feel pain now with using many herbal spices that stimulates digestive tract (in normal coocking portions). Pain is on my left side (gall bladder is on the left). There was nothing found on USG. What lab test should I make?
I'm hardcore sometimes so.. i used to use about 12/15+g of turmeric daily with black pepper for about 2 months (u know ,anti inflammatory ,anti cancer & more benefits..) ..until my liver started to hurt/ then i started to look more info about turmeric and ...i dropped amount to 2-3g/d and my liver pain is gone...
Did the turmeric cause pain in your liver.
From South Africa 😊
You can't prolong your life. We all know anyone can die at any time. I've seen it happen with my own eyes. I ride a fast motorbike, eat full breakfast, drink coffee and eat doughnuts. I've seen people go before there time. Jeepers, you can only do so much for yourself then it's all over. So sad. Chin up people, enjoy it.
I have just finished taking Harvoni for Hep C for 6 months and at last blood test am showing that my hep c is no longer in my body.Yea, after having the disease for some 20 years I am finally free of it. I do however, have cirrhosis of the liver caused by the Hep C virus and have been experiencing a lot of arthritis pain. Some one suggested I take a 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric a day and it will help with the pain. My question is this. I had my gallbladder removed about 4 years ago and have been experiencing IBS. Will the turmeric cause me cause me more problems that I might be concerned about?
+Jan MacKay Hmmm from this video and my own experience, putting a few shakes of tumeric powder on my food is all I need to experience something a "healthy" like feeling from it ...Old stand by for liver cleansing is milk thistle, don't know how this would be used in the presence of something like your condition. The overall message I got from this video is that tumeric can have beneficial effects at low doses. Good luck with your liver!
Unfortunately I am allergic to milk thistle. Break out in welts all over but the Turmeric and curcumin capsules seem to be working great. Someone suggested that I even add some grated fresh ginger in small doses to a morning smoothie or juice. The heat from the ginger helps the turmeric to work better. So long as it doesn't hurt me and makes me feel better, why not give it a try.
Thank you for your reply
+Jan MacKay - you would benefit from small doses of Curcumin with some finely ground pepper to make it more bio-available. However, you've got a lot of things going on and I would make the investment of talking to a natural health practitioner or at least a very good health food associate or compounding drugstore pharmacist.
hi beetroot daily will increase your bile production .so having no gall bladder will be fine.if your liver is producing enough daily you do not need your gall bladder as it's job is to store bile .
+John Man thank you !
Ok so as a part of same subcontinent person let me correct you here a little bit. We use 1/2 tea spoon of turmeric everyday in our meal that is for whole family not for one person plus I got some skin issues back in 2010. I went to the doctor who was German . His assistant suggested to do some tests for allergies and my dr asked me “do I use turmeric in my food on a regular basis?” I said yes it’s everyday herb. He said to his assistant there is no need for allergies test run as it’s impossible for a body to get allergies who consume turmeric since childhood. And later on he was right. I got something alse that was not allergies.
Thank you for all you do to keep us healthy!
Hello
I had the most unreal case of eczema for about the last year. Never had it before, it tore my fingers up with blisters and caused me rashes all over. I itched like never before and in places I wont say lol. Drove me crazy almost put it that way. So I tried elimination of everything and nothing worked except cortisone cream for supression. Then finally I thought about it and I had been taken turmeric for the last year and a half so I quit it and FINALLY it has been clearing. So after thinking it was so good for me I found out that it was not so good for everyone, one of the bad sides of it.
lmfaooo "tell that to Socrates" yes!!
Was that a burp at 3:21 ?
Couple comment about turmeric:
Most supplement of turmeric are in dosage of 450-500 mg. Turmeric contain a lot of oxalate that in the human body in acidic environment with calcium convert in stone (kidney stone). That may be dangerous. Absorption of turmeric is relatively low. In order to improve that black peeper can be use. It such case turmeric absorption effectiveness increase 20 time!!! Knowing the above my believe is that Turmeric use as supplement need to be properly formulated:
1. The dosage should be reduced by 10 time to around 50mg.
2. Appropriate dosage of calcium need to be mix with turmeric to stop absorption of oxalate. Same people recommend to add to the mix magnesium as well.
2. Appropriate dosage of black pepper need to be mix with turmeric to improve effectiveness of biological absorption.
So significantly lower dosage that may be up to 2 time as effective.
