By preventing this oxidation in the first place, curcumin’s
antioxidant properties keep the arteries clear of that potentially
fatal oxidized cholesterol or plaque.
CONCLUSION
Curcumin’s abilities to protect your heart, brain and cardiovascu-
lar system are beyond impressive. Consider the drugs commonly
used to treat the heart conditions discussed in this chapter. The
statin drugs alone (Lipitor, Crestor and their cousins) carry with
them huge health risks from side effects, including causing death
from sudden heart failure.
It only makes sense to use substances that are effective as well
as harmless.
Curcumin is natural and safe. Only rarely do people taking cur-
cumin get mild stomach upset at dosages of 10 grams per day or
more. What’s more, even the highest quality products are very
affordable. Who could ask for more?
