Curcumin and lead contamination

Post by ellenr »

Hi,
Want to pass on some info which I had not known. Apparently some brands of curcumin [a component of turmeric] and paprika are badly contaminated with lead.
Which is somewhat ironic, as animal studies indicate curcumin has potential to remove lead from the brain in lead-poisoned people.

According to one blogger, Consumer Labs - http://www.consumerlab.com/
is a good place to check this out.

Anyone ever used Consumer Labs?
I haven't, it costs to join, but I've heard good things about it.
