Curry as a cure?

Scientists have been developing a capsulized suppliment which involves the use of the popular spice Curry. Tests have shown that curry actually contains a powerful anti-oxidant called Circumin. Scientists are testing the safety and effectiveness of the pill. Tumeric is the curry spice which contains the potent anti-oxidant. Through several tests scientists believe that increases levels in Circumin in the body it has been proven to treat including Colon Cancer, Psoriasis, and Alzheimers Disease.
If you think that you can just eat more curry and you wont be succeptable to these diseases you are sadly mistaken. The problem that scientists are running into is that digestive juices in the gastrointestinal tract actually destroy almost all traces of circumin before it makes its way into the blood stream. They hope that encapsulating the circumin will boost the level of the amount which makes its way into the blood stream. They used several lab rats and fed them the capsuls, results showed that the rats levels of circumin quadrupled and there was a higher level of anti-oxidant in the blood stream.
