While I agree that turmeric (cucurmin) has a substantial number of medicinal capabilities, I disagree with the title of the article.I took the time to find out that research paper, and the professor says verbatim
"Again, based on this data, we have no way of telling whether curcumin could prevent fat tissue growth in humans.Meydani said. The mechanism or mechanisms by which curcumin appears to affect fat tissue must be investigated in a randomized, clinical trial involving humans."

Unless its proved, we can't assert that "Indian curry will help you lose weight." The title should have been "Indian curry MAY help you lose weight."
