In my research Turmeric is only one of the herb that contribute to the prevention of arthristis.
The main ingredent according to "I-Medicine Sutra" for prevention of arthristis is Ginger & Onion & Cinnamon.
Too much curry would cause gases to be built up in the stomarch.
If it is the beef or Mutton curry then the excess animal fat would cause the chrolesterol to built up.
So please beware of these.
The following is the news from BBC:
Extract of a spice used in curry could help prevent rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis, US research suggests.
Turmeric has been used for centuries in Asian medicine to treat inflammatory disorders and its extract can be found in western dietary supplements.
Now lab work by University of Arizona researchers, in Arthritis & Rheumatism, shows just how the spice's curcuminoid extracts have a therapeutic effect.
Experts say new drugs may be found, but eating more spices is unlikely to work.
The researchers said clinical trials were needed before turmeric supplements could be recommended for medicinal use.
Turmeric extract
Earlier work by the University of Arizona team showed turmeric could prevent joint inflammation in rats.
In their latest study, they set out to find exactly what ingredient in turmeric was having the anti-inflammatory effect.
They prepared extracts from the rhizome, or root of the turmeric plant, and compared them against the commercially available products that contain turmeric extracts.
