What’s reasonably supported by evidence

Important safety considerations the article barely mentions

Turmeric and black pepper can interact with medications.

Use caution if you:

  • take blood thinners,
  • have gallbladder disease,
  • have kidney stone risk,
  • have GERD/acid reflux,
  • have diabetes medications,
  • are pregnant,
  • or take many prescription medications.

Black pepper (piperine) can affect how the body processes drugs.

Also:

  • 2 tablespoons of honey daily adds a fair amount of sugar.
  • Turmeric may upset the stomach in some people.

A more realistic expectation
