Curcumin is one of the main ingredients of (e.g.) Indian cuisine. Does it mean that the nation is comparatively less inflamed?


Historically? Yes, actually.

There has been a surge in, for example, IBD in India recently [1], but by and large India did not have many of the inflammatory disease issue we had for decades. They had plenty of other diseases, but I wouldn’t be surprised if all the curcumin helped stave off certain inflammatory conditions.
