#6So I live in the EU where such supplements are supposedly safe. Article said that supplements that mix pepper and turmeric are dangerous. And the dose that was dangerous to the woman was 2000mg.
I looked on my table toward the bottle of turmeric my parents gifted me recently, saying they heard it was good and bought on a famous "health" store.
Bottle is: turmeric + pepper "designed for max absorption" and dose is 10000mg.

Yeah. Isn't there a thing called water poisoning? Where your body sheds lots of things that it needs if you drink too much water? I'd wager a guess that if you drink >20 liters of water daily you'll be in some trouble...

#9People will pay all kinds of money for supplements which have been denatured from their source (and therefore not as likely to be effective) instead of just eating fruits and vegetables.

#10> she began taking turmeric capsules at a dose of 2,250 mg per day.
That's a teaspoon. The average South-east asian eats close to that much in a day for their entire lives.
