Hello Moreless and Everyone:)
Sorry I haven't been around a whole lot...life's just been busy lately. Anyway I just wanted to stop in with my new found discovery. I have started to add turmeric into the drink. I was pleasantly surprised that I actually liked the taste of the drink better with the turmeric in it. I also add a couple of drops of stevia though which helps. Turmeric seems to have a lot of health benefits and I was trying different ways to take it and thought I would try it in the drink. So if you also want to add this amazing spice into your diet regularly try adding it to the drink...you might like it too:)

This is a reply to # 1,374,250Hi striveon, refreshed
Here are Some info about the health benefits of turmeric/curcuma.
Dr Richard Beliveau (biochemist) suggests to take curcuma with black pepper and is also more bio-available with oils.

"RE: turmeric curcuma"
Details that make a difference:
Curcumin
There is significant synergy between curcumin and piperine (found in black pepper).
«… In humans given 2-gram doses of curcumin alone, levels of curcumin in serum were undetectable to very low one hour post-administration. Concomitant administration of 20 mg of piperine was said to significantly increase absorption and bioavailability (by 2000%). Similar results were reported in rats…»
Ref : http://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/nmdrugprofiles/nutsupdrugs/pip_0322.shtml
In a separate study by Dr Richard Beliveau, the same is reported. Daily dose recommended is
curcuma : 1 teaspoon,
black pepper: ½ teaspoon
Green Tea
-Generally, green tea from Japan contains much more EGCG than green tea from China in the range of 2 to 5 times more depending on the variety.
-The best tested are Sencha & Gyokuro.
-3 cups daily recommended
-Important to let the leaves infuse for 8-10 minutes ( 5 minutes infusion extracts only 20% of the catechins)
Green Tea & Curcumin
Together, their impact on apoptosis is 5-6 times greater than if only one of the two is taken.

TURMERIC ‘Curcuma longa’, also known as curcuma, haldi or Indian saffron, is an ancient spice from South East Asia. This fine, bright yellow powder is obtained from the ground rhizome (underground stem), and posses an earthy, peppery flavour with a sweet mustard perfume.
According to the book ‘Anticancer’ (by Dr. David Servan-Schreibe)*, turmeric / curcuma is the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory identified to date & can be used as a natural defence mechanism against cancerous cells when used in cooking. IMPORTANT: for the turmeric to be absorbed by the body, it must be combined with black pepper and ideally dissolved in oil (ie olive oil).

This is a reply to # 1,374,269manganese... high quality turmeric is an excellent source.
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0860/is_n1_v52/ai_8251563
It also has good amounts of iron, potassium and B6... and a bit of zinc and copper.
Black pepper is an excellent source of manganese and a good source of iron and vitamin K...
I am sure there is a great deal more in these to spices if grown correctly and of high quality.
Put the two together and you are getting a decent dose of manganese... and iron.

Answer: Turmeric has a peculiar fragrant odour and a bitterish, slightly acrid taste, like ginger, exciting warmth in the mouth and coloring the saliva yellow. It is a mild aromatic stimulant seldom used in medicine. It was used mostly as a coloring agent? It is mainly used in making curry powders.
I was not aware that it has lots of Health Benefits other than being a mild aromatic stimulant?

This is a reply to # 1,374,231Hi Refreshed, WIEL and Moreless and Grz:)
In my reading I have learned that turmeric which is a member of the ginger family has phenomenal anti-inflammatory properties. I have read several testimonies on earth clinic in which people who have had trouble with large boils have eliminated the problem using turmeric. Also, there is much information on the benefits of turmeric and cancer, alleviating arthritis and joint pain. It is also suppose to benefit cholesterol levels and is suppose to be very good for the liver.
I know the drink will also produce amazing results with all these conditions...I figure it's a beneficial spice to include in your diet to add to your health as well.
I have grown to really like it in my cooking. I have used turmeric on eggs, salmon, chicken and in my homemade soups...it adds a nice rich flavor to the food.
I hope all is well with everyone:)

Answer: In one of my past posts I mentioned about the Alkalizing effects of many Spices that Different cultures have used where they do not have refrigeration and this use of the Spices is WHY they do not get Sick from eating Poor Quality foods that may have Decay and Spoilage because of lack of refrigeration !
As I mentioned in my post Turmeric is used in some cultures to make curry powder which is used by them in their food dishes !
The Benefits of Turmeric and or any other Spice may depend upon it's Alkalizing Qualities?
What does this mean?
Could this mean what Alkaline Minerals may the Spice in question supply our body that we may need?
Here again we need to ask ourself what is the Quality or Brix reading of the Spice in question?
Surely it could not be this Simple?
Could it be?
Smile Tis your choice.
