I love the idea that eating curry can ward off dementia - although apparently the quantities needed may leave one somewhat bloated. There's a substance in tumeric called curcumin that can combat the changes in the brain that lead to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.

There is no mention of the effects of the two pints of lager us Brits like to consume with our curry. Hopefully, they won't completely counter the curcumin benefits.
