#3Funny this was the other discussion it being contaminated. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38139011
Wikipedia suggests its toxify is overblown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead(II)_chromate
>Despite containing both lead and hexavalent chromium, lead chromate is not particularly toxic because of its very low solubility. The LD50 for rats is only 5,000 mg/kg. Lead chromate is treated with great care in its manufacture, the main concerns being dust of the chromate precursor. "Extensive epidemiological investigations have given no indication that the practically insoluble lead chromate pigments have any carcinogenic properties".

#4Maybe it's not the turmeric, but the lead chromate though?

#5I've been wondering if anyone sells home tooling to test safety on individual purchases before using them. A quick google suggests some tools exist but question their efficacy. What say you, hackers?

Turmeric is trending in the Hacker News Collective Conscious.
It could have been any word.
The news piece was "Indians caught using lead as food colorant".

#7Isn’t curcumin one of those compounds that just has a lot of false positives in these kinds of lab assays?

Is it a coincidence that reptiles reproduce better at high degrees of global lead poisoning?
Re: Turmeric can kill cancer cells and prevent their growth
#9As I said in another comment, there is a belief in the natural health community that Tuneric/Curcumin can cure cancer. I'm not totally sold, but based on this article, I am optimistic. What bothers me about this is that natural health advocates latch onto them and use them as proof of efficacy.
Typically, it's followed by something along the lines of "if only big Pharma/government would get out the way, we could have this valuable cure."
If something actually has efficacy, then a drug company would've made it into a drug by now. Somehow it would have gotten to a point of treatment somewhere in the world. I'm just not seeing that, so until it actually is put through real-world testing with patients, I think everyone should look at these with some doubt.
