DESCRIPTION: The yellow pigment curcumin in the spice turmeric may work as good or better than anti-inflammatory drugs and pain killers for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

What about rheumatoid arthritis? That was my last video, Turmeric Curcumin and Rheumatoid (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-rheumatoid-arthritis). Next, I’ll cover Boosting the Bioavailability of Curcumin (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin) and then end with some caveats (Who Shouldn’t Consume Curcumin or Turmeric, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-consume-curcumin-or-turmeric).

I think the only other video I have on osteoarthritis is Rose Hips for Osteoarthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-osteoarthritis-treatment).

Those unfamiliar with the China study should read it (https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54905518)! I also mention it in my video China Study on Sudden Cardiac Death (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/china-study-on-sudden-cardiac-death/).

If, as described, oxidative stress and inflammation both play a role in joint inflammation, then that may help explain the role of turmeric. See my recent videos Which Spices Fight Inflammation? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-spices-fight-inflammation) and Spicing Up DNA Protection (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/spicing-up-dna-protection).

I’d also add nuts (Fighting Inflammation in a Nut Shell, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/fighting-inflammation-in-a-nut-shell/) and mushrooms (Boosting Immunity While Reducing Inflammation, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-immunity-while-reducing-inflammation/) to the list of anti-inflammatory plant foods.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-osteoarthritis/ and he’ll try to answer it!
