Question:

Articles about turmeric from India show a very high level of lead. Are there any other safe sources of turmeric?

— Bill Durkee

Answer:

Uh, you know, just offhand, I'm, I'm not familiar with all the, the different sources of turmeric. It certainly comes from different places. Um, uh, and, you know, regarding, um, uh, studies from India, um, certainly look, look deeper into that as well. And, and, um, look at, uh, more specifically where that has come from. Um, India is a big place, and turmeric has grown in, in much of the country. And, uh, so, you know, I, I, I, I, the, the, um, the, the student in me, you know, that, that the, the scientist in me, or the the inquisitive person in me is gonna ask the question, uh, is, is there lead in the soil, you know, throughout India? And the answer is probably no. And so I want to know where that is versus where that is not okay. Um, but otherwise, take a look online and see where else you might, uh, find turmeric, uh, being sourced.
