Potential arthritis drug found in fast food industry
In the fast pace of life... Or not so fast. Fast food saves us from spending time in the kitchen, although it is not the healthiest option. There are a variety of options, from hamburgers to Turkish or Indian food. In the latter case, the use of lots of vegetables and beans makes it a good choice. Since it is healthier than others.
In Spain, according to the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU), some medicines that are sold contain an extract of this spice. In addition, it is attributed to it some beneficial properties for the body. Especially one of its components, curcumin. According to a study published in 2008, it acts as an anti-inflammatory agent against chronic diseases, including "neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, pulmonary, metabolic, autoimmune and neoplasms," according to the study.
It also helps fight other pathologies such as arthritis, OCU notes. However, according to a 2022 report from the same organization, at this time, "research on the benefits of curcumin is inconclusive." They note that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) "has not yet recognized any of the properties attributed to turmeric." And a scientific committee of the Spanish Food and Nutrition Safety Agency (AESAN) recommends that people under 18, pregnant women and nursing mothers avoid curcumin-containing supplements.
