In an ideal world, we could avoid exposure to the chemicals and therefore go without protective supplements or food extracts by eating clean, preservative and chemical-free food. But the situation is getting worse not better. USDA certified organic food, for instance, includes a sizable list of exceptions to the 'chemical free' standard we have grown accustomed to expecting from organic food. The non-GMO project, while admirable, generates a false sense of consumer security by implying that non-GMO certified food is also pesticide and agrochemical free, which it often is not. In a world of uncertainty about the most important thing you can do to ensure your health – good, clean, healing food – we must take precaution, and turmeric (and its polyphenol curcumin) may just be the world's most important herb when it comes to reducing the risk of harm from the battery of modern day chemical, radiation, electromagnetic, and infectious exposures – not to mention stress induced adverse physiological changes.
At Greenmedinfo.com we have dedicated a good portion of our time indexing research on the many ways that turmeric and curcumin can protect and in some cases recover our health. You can visit our turmeric research page for a list of no less than 600 health conditions that have been studied to possibly benefit from its consumption. The list is so impressive that we have theorized that if there is an intelligent design within Nature, and if certain species of plants are ideally suited to benefit certain animal species, turmeric may very well be an embodiment of compassion. At the very least turmeric must be recognized as an embodiment of profound intelligence, as it possesses the ability to modulate over 170 distinct physiological processes within the body in a way that can ameliorate physical suffering.
For a brief snapshot of the ways in which turmeric protect against chemical and/or toxin exposure, take a look at the experimentally verified forms of protection it offers against the following toxic substances:
- Acetametaphen (Tylenol) Toxicity
- Acrylonitrate Toxicity
- Acrylamide Toxicity
- Aflatoxin Toxicity
- Alcohol Toxicity
- Antibiotic Toxicity
- Arsenic Toxicity
- Benzene Toxicity
- Benzo[a]pyrene-induced Toxicity
- Cadmium Toxicity
- Chemotherapy-Induced Toxicity
- Cortisone Toxicity
- Dioxin Toxicity
- Drug-Induced Toxicity (various)
- Fluoride Toxicity
- Heterocyclic Amine Toxicity
- HIV Drug Toxicity
- Iron Toxicity
