Indian spice turmeric stops people developing a faltering memory, researchers say.
Scientists in the US found the spice built up a defence system against the onset of the debilitating brain disease. Turmeric is found in everything from mild Kormas to the hottest Vindaloos. Dr. Sally Frautschy, of the University of California, found that the
build-up of "plaques" on the brain, which cause Alzheimer's, was halved by turmeric.
