Where's the video where he said originally not to heat? Because I take tumeric as a supplement for my dammned inflammation problem. I've been taking it cold ? Now what? That's wrong? Should I still be taking it with pepper and coconut oil? Someone please reply because I asked chatgpt and it didn't mention oil or fat
I like that you point out when you discover that you gave misinformation in the past. One of the most intelligent ways to earn respect and credibility.
I thought sardines were bad to eat, most doctors do preach negatively on can foods especially sardines, so on days I even have to eat it, I pour out the oil thinking that will build up cholesterol in my body.
The traditional knowledge about turmeric in India has been that you put it in powdered form in every single vegetable, cereal or meat you cook. But when taken for direct benefits, it must either be heated with milk and taken before going to bed, or cooked raw and grated in lots of ghee with peas in winters. So cooking/heating has been essential to turmeric consumption at least in all parts of India.
@@globaleducation5473 i guess you are reading too much leftist propaganda material. Indians do not eat cow waste but cow urine distillate. Cow urine has been granted US Patents (No. 6,896,907 and 6,410,059) for its medicinal properties, particularly as a bioenhancer and as an antibiotic, antifungal and anticancer agent.
Hi! I became aware of turmeric a few years ago as an anti-inflammatory for my rheumatoid arthritis. It's absorbed by the body WAAAYYYY better if mixed with black pepper as well💞 Thank you SO MUCH for your integrity👍🏻
I have been using turmeric for joint pain and a surprising side effect has been clearing brain fog. I am living a much better quality of life because someone introduced me to golden milk.
That is how I was first introduced to turmeric a neighbor came over and gave me golden milk she warmed up milk and put a little bit of ginger in it started and gave it to me to drink I slept well and my stomach was much better but I use it for medicinal reasons only when I cook with it I use black pepper and sesame seed oil but medicinal reasons only I put that with my chicken breast in the oven not much oil but much pepper
Love Indian foods, absolutely incredible flavoursome variations of spices which are all beneficial for ones health, that is why they are also used in Ayurvedic preparations!
Love our Indian foods and all the herbs and spices! It is very good for our health, when everything is used in moderation! I plant tumeric, ginger and quite a few herbs and plants in our backyard garden. So happy to see most people in the western world are now using our spices and herbs and loving them!
The accurate measure of character is not whether a person makes mistakes - but whether they have the care, courage and humility to learn from it, admit it to others involved and if feasible, correct it; when they do.
In Indonesia, turmeric drink is a traditional drink passed down from generations. We call it 'jamu'. And we mostly boil or cook before consuming it. But we always mix turmeric with other ingredients, like ginger, Kaempferia, Tamarind. For medicinal purpose, many use white turmeric instead of yellow turmeric. My grandmo told me, when we boil those ingredients, the healing agents will be more activated. Is turmeric new to Western diet?
Yes, turmeric is relatively new to western diet as it hasn't been grown here and therefore has been widely unknown, unless one is keen on Asian cooking and uses the rich varieties of Asian spice mixtures like masalas, curry mixtures and the like - I love it!
I use turmeric in my cooked salads everyday. I only use 1/4 teaspoon since it's high in oxalates. Turmeric also thins the blood, along with ginger. It's a great tumor suppressor. An excellent combination is turmeric with ginger with guduchi with amla ☝🏿️🙏🏿
I take turmeric twice a day. I add a heaped teaspoon of turmeric and a pinch of black pepper to 300 mls of water. Heat for about 2 minutes and then drink. This has helped with my inflammation. After the very first dose I noticed a difference. It's been fantastic for my health.
For Middle Easterns, it's in everyday's kitchen, yet we were surprised of its amazing benefits when it started to become well known; as a therapy, for too many probs.
Wow, thank you so much for the correction Dr. Berg. This makes you even more trustworthy. I know that you say what you really know to be the most accurate info, not what other people tell you to say, or what "majority opinion" is. It's SO refreshing to see that. You are a REAL doctor!
I put turmeric with black pepper in my coffee basket with my favorite coffee when I make the morning pot . I also add ginger and cinnamon into the basket as well. About 1 tablespoon of these 4 spices/herbs for a 10-12 cup pot of coffee. Wife and I have been doing this for almost 3 years now. And it all started Here on Dr Berg's YT channel! Thank you Dr. Berg for you very well put together videos. Great presentation and great teaching too! Again Thank you. :D We are both in our late 60's. If you have never tried this blend give it a try!. Note: I also add a pat of real butter and a dash/squirt of raw honey to my cup. The butter really smooths out the taste (not that it's bad tasting or anything like that lol ) of the coffee. And the added good fat in butter keeps the mind sharp (brain food) 1st thing in the morning. Honey, well especially raw honey, speaks for itself on goodness.
What is so good about honey? at least in a diet sense, not topical for its antibacterial properties. My impression is that is simply another version of sugar.
@apokalypse 2016 Many people prefer butter if they are seriously counting their carbs as even heavy cream has a few carbs due to the lactose from the milk...
Glad to hear you changed your opinion on canned sardines 🙌. I remember commenting on that first video to the contrary. Because I personally reached out to two prominent sardine processing plants about it and they both stated that wasn’t true. Heat did not degrade nutritional outcome and quality. Thanks for backtracking on that 👍
I have formulated 10 oz Turmeric along with 5 oz Black Pepper, 2-3 tablespoons Cayenne, 1-2 tablespoons Cinnamon and 2 oz ginger. These are random amounts of each I came up with and not scientific amounts. I had been reading about the benefits of Turmeric and its anti-inflammatory qualities. Several years ago, I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet and knees and after reading about Turmeric I came up with my mixture mentioned. I started adding this dry mix to just about everything I ate and after a few moths noticed I had no more pain in my feet and knees. Since than I added this Turmeric dry mix to 3-4 avocados (guacamole) along with 12-18 oz Tomato paste. With This mix I get the benefit of my Turmeric mix along with the beneficiary fats of avocado and the Lycopene in the Tomato paste. This mix I keep in the refrigerator and use it as a spread on toast, sandwiches, and just about anything else. I have had good results with my experiences and like to pass the info along.
Wow, I’m so glad about this video because turmeric is my most favourite herb in the kitchen I use a lot without even caring to know which nutrients it carries or even the benefits. Which is why I’m so glad I tuned in to this video to learn about it. Dr Berg, you’re always amazing in choosing topics for your videos because at times, they are meant for someone in the world who needs it .. Much appreciated 😁😍♥️
I'm very grateful that you put out this information and explain things that the average person can understand. I love that you make it so that we want to do, take or make these things and why we absolutely should. You improve my health on a daily basis..now if I could just give up my sugar addiction I know that I would feel so much better, but it has its sweet little tentacles in my every cell and it is 1 habit that is incredibly difficult for me to break..
Sometimes I warm up turmeric with a half teaspoon of black pepper. Black pepper can increase its absorption by 1, 800%. I assume that when warmed up, turmeric absorption can increase even more, but I have not researched that.
Thanks! I've been buying organic turmeric by the pound to cook with for almost 5 decades, so good to hear! I recently started using full strength turmeric juice and ginger juice for my acv tonic. I'm sure it's pasteurized so good to know. I purchased a quart awhile visiting my son and didn't want to waste it so I cooked Indian food and used it! Turmeric has been used in India for thousands of years in cooking.
Thank you for this information and massive respect to you for being humble enough to check your research, update it if necessary and update us too. Thank you 🙏🏿
Great video. Everyone also needs to note studies have shown to get the maximum bodily absorption of tumaric, one must add ground black pepper to the turmeric, yes, heating both improves the health benefits of both.
This video (along with the Omega 3 video you cited) contains VERY important information. We are often warned against cooking things (by the raw foods folks) because cooking can destroy so many important nutrients. I'm watching videos on Sulforaphane (broccoli) and the doctor warns against cooking too long at too high o' heat because of the nutrient losses. Good video.
Turmeric is added as the first spice in Indian cooking and we use it for as long a so can remember. It is a gift from the Indian kitchen. It also has an auspicious significance associated with purity and the start of a happy married life with a ‘Haldi’ ceremony before a wedding. And it should be used in sparse amounts, otherwise the food or dish will get a strong taste with no added benefits.
I put it on my eggs while their cooking. I found the information that it needed to be heated from someone in India. Pepper will lose it's benefits when cooked. Thank you for posting the update Dr. Berg.
We drink this since I don’t know when the combination of Tumeric thin slices bring to boil slow shimmer, cool it down, mix some honey and little bit of tamarind oh They’re such a great combination amazing ingredients
10 months after knee surgery my knee was still painful. One morning i had a good hit of turmeric in warm water with pepper and a tablespoon of olive oil. In the morning the pain was reduced by at least 50% and i didn't at that stage link it to the turmeric. I wondered why the knee felt so good. This went on for quite some time. On mornings when I awoke with bad knee pain i slowly came to realise i didn't have the turmeric, but even then, the pain was reduced. It's like a miracle. It took a while to link it to the turmeric as i was taking all kinds of other things for the pain, none of which worked. The turmeric hit like a silver bullet.
Dr. Berg turmeric is found to prevent breaking of the neural networks and thus prevent Alzheimers. Could you please speak about this? Turmeric has been an important ingredient in Indian cooking for millenia. It has been mentioned in ancient Indian texts as a medicine.
Black pepper helps you absorb certain nutrients better. I always put it in with turmeric if im using turmeric. I hate it that turmeric tastes like dirt though.
Daily I take a concoction of Turmeric, black pepper, ginger, and coconut oil. I heat it up to about 135F in the microwave so the coconut oil is nice and runny. I wonder if that amount of heat has any affect.
I heat it over my eggs with a little ground black pepper. I also add it to soups, casseroles, basically anything! I love the taste together with enough salt and other spices! It tastes awesome with curry as well!!
I've been very sick with coughing the last couple weeks to the point where my ribs have been in agony. I remembered turmeric is good for pain, so I shook a little in a glass of water and drank it. I started to feel relief right away not only in my ribs but also my lungs.
Turmeric has become a traditional Indonesian drink tradition, even here many sellers of drinks made from spices such as turmeric, spices made into drinks are called jamu, many jamu sellers here around offer drinks made from spices, and all drinks are cooked at high temperatures and for a long time, because The longer it is cooked, the active ingredients from the spices will come out and dissolve with water
Not a single helpful answer. Start with 1/2 of a flat tsp (increase to 1/2 heaped a week later and observe; titrate upwards to a suggested max of 1 heaped- not easy to like so much in taste 😁 over 4 weeks) and in a week or so you'll notice an effect but 4-6 weeks for the long term effects to build up. Adjust the amounts as you go along - you don't need to get to the 1 heaped if 1 flat does the job. Also, this is an Ayurvedic remedy and these take time to build up, so be patient, because everybody has a different body-type!! Good luck!
Hi there! Dr. Berg might recommend a type of supplement but does not get into specifics- you'll have to do this research yourself. Dr. Berg's Support Team.
It's very important for you to add a pinch of black pepper, preferably freshly grounded, as it has an ingredient that activates the antiinflammatory properties of turmeric.
I gave up coffee 2 years ago...replaced it with this...boiling filtered water,dual turmeric extract, turmeric root,black pepper,ginger dual extract, cinnamon dual extract latte mix+chocolate flavor multi collagen powder+a cacao,acacia,ashwagandha dual extract, cinnamon dual extract, nutmeg and cardamom Latte mix.....it's not cheap but boy oh boy it's good...I so love this channel 👏👏👍👍🙏
Carrots are more nutritious when lightly cooked, more than eating them raw. If you will eat it cooked, but not raw, cook it. I can only eat a handful of raw dandelions, but cooking the leaves means I can gather and eat half a pound of dandelion greens. The same with beet greens. Plus, I can add butter, or lard, or tallow or schmaltz, which increases the vitamins I get. Turmeric cooked with black pepper, cream or butter and a bit of salt is delicious as a dressing! Thank you for this video! I hope it helps those who think raw food is always best.
I am an Indian homemaker. Glad that all are now big into turmeric. We use tumeric in just about every curry except sweets. We mix turmeric with oil and massage the body and then bathe. Also heat a glass of dilute curd with a pinch of turmeric and cumin and drink during fever. Just heat for a minute. Sorry for the long msg
Turmeric is native Indian herb, used as ayurvedic medicine. It’s grown in Indian sub continent. Also used in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh food cooking for over 1000 years.
Thanks for tje retract on the sardine video previously published, and moreso for having tested. And for this confirmation on heating/cooking of turmeric and the resultant benefits.
Thank you you for listing the studies. Please tell us if the black pepper is absolutely necessary to get the same benefit of the turmeric without the pepper. I have read that the black pepper can irritate the gut lining if one is already having gut issues Thank you
Turmeric grows in my yard! It has an amazing lavender, white, and yellow flowers. My friend uses about a tablespoon per day to treat her hepatitis. She says it needs to be cooked at least five minutes.
I drink a lot of turmeric tea, not just for the benefits, but simply because it tastes good. If you have a good infuser, you can make it easily. I use turmeric, some cinnamon and ginger and you MUST add black pepper (small amount) in order for the body to use it. A little sweetener, maybe a little cream (or whip it up bulletproof style with the oils of your choice), and it's delicious! If you have a Costco membership, you can buy turmeric in the really large bottles. If you use a plastic insulated cup, like a Tervis, dedicate it to your turmeric tea, though, because you'll never get the yellow staining out, unless you don't mind. Otherwise, stick with glazed ceramic. It doesn't stain as easily.
I use tumeric as a medication for Ulcerative Colitis instead of a chemical medication which had severe side effects. Whne I told my specialist about this as it was recommended by my ex South African G.P. he agreed and said it was currently being investigated as a treatment scientifically and he was interested in my results. They have been VERY positive and all my symptoms are successfully kept at bay WITHOUT drugs, which were previousy prescribed,and it has also reduced muscle pain as a very good side benefit. From Australia.
My grandfather farmed turmeric yes, TUMERIC for export. This is in the 50s. He also made curry powder and he always say we must cook tumeric before consuming it.
Same as with lycopene in carrots and tomatoes. The levels of it goes up with cooking. Turmeric is also better to drink together with some pepper and a some fat. It enhances potency and absorption. Didn't pay 4K for the info so I'm not sure but I've read about this in many places.
Hi Dr Berg, turmeric is widely used in cooking in my country India. Another thing that we like to eat is Brinjal but I heard it has Leptin. Does Leptin get destroyed after long heating periods? Is it good to eat Brinjal? Raw or cooked?
You said heat kills vitamin c and that’s why store bought lemon juice has none. But then you also said baker/roasted jalapeños and other peppers have a good source of vitamin c. Which is it?
Dr. Berg it would be nice for you to warn people that there is different keto diets I started seeing keto stuff in the store thought it was okay started buying it and eating it and totally knock me off of my keto diet and fasting anyway I learned from that but maybe warn the people more or this will help I don't know what do you think thank you for everything you're awesome man
I use turmeric almost everyday as a hot tea and have seem its benefits, but I'm glad to hear it from Dr Berg that he confirms it that heating it is actually good.
Hello Dr. Berg, First of all thank you, Since i have been following you i changed my eating habit's to your plan's And it has greatly changed my life and health 10 fold for the better I have a question along with the needed omega 3 do you also get the omega 6 which i read on Thomas DeLauer channel is not want you want in your diet.
I put in my omellete and put organic black pepper with Himalayan salt and cook with Palm oil. Taste is amazing. Ideally you would use free range chicken eggs too but if you can't afford it, just buy normal and use organic turmmeric with black pepper and Himalayan salt. super good.
Dr Berg, what is your opinion on Fish oil capsules? Some evidence that the oil since it is Polyunsaturated is that it oxidizes very quickly and by the time it is consumed it is ineffective at raising Omega 3s. Or worse yet, it is actually counterproductive as oxidized PUFAs are known to be harmful, hence the recommendation NOT to consume seed oils. "Good" fish oils capsules are expensive and I wish there was direction from any of the trusted doctors on YT. Also, what about the bottles of cod liver oil? Same boat? So confusing.
What about taking a Pure Curcumin supplement? Please clarify explain this aspect .. Apart from this, Great wonderful video Dr. Eric Berg .. I never knew these info's despite being an Indian 😊✌️
Very well Dr. Berg.I thought so too that heat diminish turmeric's nutrient.After watching this video I have no more ifs and buts @ cooking turmeric.Thank you and more power to you.

On mornings when I awoke with bad knee pain i slowly came to realise i didn't have the turmeric, but even then, the pain was reduced. It's like a miracle. It took a while to link it to the turmeric as i was taking all kinds of other things for the pain, none of which worked. The turmeric hit like a silver bullet.
Dr. Berg turmeric is found to prevent breaking of the neural networks and thus prevent Alzheimers. Could you please speak about this? Turmeric has been an important ingredient in Indian cooking for millenia. It has been mentioned in ancient Indian texts as a medicine.
I love to learn from you .. am nutritionist and still you add to me alot of things i don't know about
Black pepper helps you absorb certain nutrients better. I always put it in with turmeric if im using turmeric. I hate it that turmeric tastes like dirt though.
Put a little bit of Honey with it. 👍
It does taste like dirt😂 that's why I don't add turmeric in drinks.. But in my country we used a lot of turmeric in cooking
This is awesome, thank you! I love how you tested it and corrected yourself.
Daily I take a concoction of Turmeric, black pepper, ginger, and coconut oil. I heat it up to about 135F in the microwave so the coconut oil is nice and runny. I wonder if that amount of heat has any affect.
Thanks Dr Berg ! You are always very helpful to mankind !
I heat it over my eggs with a little ground black pepper. I also add it to soups, casseroles, basically anything! I love the taste together with enough salt and other spices! It tastes awesome with curry as well!!
I've been very sick with coughing the last couple weeks to the point where my ribs have been in agony. I remembered turmeric is good for pain, so I shook a little in a glass of water and drank it. I started to feel relief right away not only in my ribs but also my lungs.
The best way to take turmeric for cough is to add a little to a glass of lukewarm milk at bed time. You will wake up relieved of the cough.
NAC is very excellent for lung inflammation and mucus.
@@Freckles303 what is nac plz
I have turmeric in coffee with a small amount of black pepper. its a nice way of taking it
Big shout out to Dr Berg... you sir are very genuine and ethical and it shows in your vids. Bless you mate and thank you!!
Very glad to be of help.
In Burma, turmeric is always used in cooking and also used as a traditional medicine for various illness.
Turmeric has become a traditional Indonesian drink tradition, even here many sellers of drinks made from spices such as turmeric, spices made into drinks are called jamu, many jamu sellers here around offer drinks made from spices, and all drinks are cooked at high temperatures and for a long time, because The longer it is cooked, the active ingredients from the spices will come out and dissolve with water
I recently started adding Tumeric to my keto chilli and it's great! How much Tumeric needs to be consumed daily to see it's benefits?
Take the right amount and you'll be ok.
It’s Turmeric. Not Tumeric. I see everyone misspelling and mispronouncing it, sorry had to correct 🙈
Great question. I ferment my turmeric, and would also like to know how much I should eat.
Not a single helpful answer.
Start with 1/2 of a flat tsp (increase to 1/2 heaped a week later and observe; titrate upwards to a suggested max of 1 heaped- not easy to like so much in taste 😁 over 4 weeks) and in a week or so you'll notice an effect but 4-6 weeks for the long term effects to build up. Adjust the amounts as you go along - you don't need to get to the 1 heaped if 1 flat does the job. Also, this is an Ayurvedic remedy and these take time to build up, so be patient, because everybody has a different body-type!! Good luck!
Hi there! Dr. Berg might recommend a type of supplement but does not get into specifics- you'll have to do this research yourself.

It's very important for you to add a pinch of black pepper, preferably freshly grounded, as it has an ingredient that activates the antiinflammatory properties of turmeric.
I gave up coffee 2 years ago...replaced it with this...boiling filtered water,dual turmeric extract, turmeric root,black pepper,ginger dual extract, cinnamon dual extract latte mix+chocolate flavor multi collagen powder+a cacao,acacia,ashwagandha dual extract, cinnamon dual extract, nutmeg and cardamom Latte mix.....it's not cheap but boy oh boy it's good...I so love this channel 👏👏👍👍🙏
Carrots are more nutritious when lightly cooked, more than eating them raw. If you will eat it cooked, but not raw, cook it. I can only eat a handful of raw dandelions, but cooking the leaves means I can gather and eat half a pound of dandelion greens. The same with beet greens. Plus, I can add butter, or lard, or tallow or schmaltz, which increases the vitamins I get. Turmeric cooked with black pepper, cream or butter and a bit of salt is delicious as a dressing!
Thank you for this video! I hope it helps those who think raw food is always best.
I just want to let anyone who’s reading this comment know. I wish you great success, health, love and happiness! ✨
Thank you .to you also.
my cat loves u too🐱♥️♥️♥️
When I make chicken soup I add it and not only does it taste good but gives it a nice color. It's like the missing ingredient for a lot of recipes.
I am an Indian homemaker. Glad that all are now big into turmeric.
We use tumeric in just about every curry except sweets.
We mix turmeric with oil and massage the body and then bathe.
Also heat a glass of dilute curd with a pinch of turmeric and cumin and drink during fever. Just heat for a minute. Sorry for the long msg
Turmeric is native Indian herb, used as ayurvedic medicine. It’s grown in Indian sub continent. Also used in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh food cooking for over 1000 years.
dr Berg what is the best treatment for back problems. and i love all your stuff. thank you for all you do.
Humility and responsibility are traits of a good person. Thank you for the update.
Thanks for tje retract on the sardine video previously published, and moreso for having tested. And for this confirmation on heating/cooking of turmeric and the resultant benefits.
Thank you you for listing the studies. Please tell us if the black pepper is absolutely necessary to get the same benefit of the turmeric without the pepper. I have read that the black pepper can irritate the gut lining if one is already having gut issues
Thank you
Please talk about Neem as well thank you ✌️
Thank you for the video suggestion. I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!

Turmeric grows in my yard!
It has an amazing lavender, white, and yellow flowers.
My friend uses about a tablespoon per day to treat her hepatitis.
She says it needs to be cooked at least five minutes.
I've always used turmeric for years and for everything! Even in my green matcha protein shakes! Great content Dr. Berg! GAINZ! 💯💪🏼👊🏼🏋🏻♀️
I've been growing turmeric for close to 10 year now, can't get enough, and the plant is actually beautiful as well
WOW! JUST WOW! It blew my mind to find that there is actually some ENHANCEMENT of the health benefits within that little root!
A Man who can say I was wrong ~?? WHAT A GIFT~!!! Thank You~!!!
Great video i have one question is there any relationship between
Turmeric and the formation of kidney stones
I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!

@@Drberg it really would be needed, thank you
I drink a lot of turmeric tea, not just for the benefits, but simply because it tastes good. If you have a good infuser, you can make it easily. I use turmeric, some cinnamon and ginger and you MUST add black pepper (small amount) in order for the body to use it. A little sweetener, maybe a little cream (or whip it up bulletproof style with the oils of your choice), and it's delicious! If you have a Costco membership, you can buy turmeric in the really large bottles. If you use a plastic insulated cup, like a Tervis, dedicate it to your turmeric tea, though, because you'll never get the yellow staining out, unless you don't mind. Otherwise, stick with glazed ceramic. It doesn't stain as easily.
I use tumeric as a medication for Ulcerative Colitis instead of a chemical medication which had severe side effects. Whne I told my specialist about this as it was recommended by my ex South African G.P. he agreed and said it was currently being investigated as a treatment scientifically and he was interested in my results. They have been VERY positive and all my symptoms are successfully kept at bay WITHOUT drugs, which were previousy prescribed,and it has also reduced muscle pain as a very good side benefit. From Australia.
My grandfather farmed turmeric yes, TUMERIC for export. This is in the 50s. He also made curry powder and he always say we must cook tumeric before consuming it.
Thanks for the info Dr. Berg. I use it often here in the Philippines also.
Glad to help!

Is turmeric the same as curcuma? Thank you for answering 🙏
YES!
turmeric called Curcuma rhizome to be precise there are a lot of herbs with the name of Curcuma though
Sure
Thank you Dr Berg for all valuable knowledge you share.
I was wondering if a pregnant woman can take turmeric??
Thank you for your constant curiosity.
Isnt boiling tumeric reduce the substance call curcumin? Correct me if im wrong.
Thanks Doc. How does Curcumin react to high heat?
Same as with lycopene in carrots and tomatoes. The levels of it goes up with cooking. Turmeric is also better to drink together with some pepper and a some fat. It enhances potency and absorption. Didn't pay 4K for the info so I'm not sure but I've read about this in many places.
Hi Dr Berg, turmeric is widely used in cooking in my country India. Another thing that we like to eat is Brinjal but I heard it has Leptin. Does Leptin get destroyed after long heating periods? Is it good to eat Brinjal? Raw or cooked?
You said heat kills vitamin c and that’s why store bought lemon juice has none. But then you also said baker/roasted jalapeños and other peppers have a good source of vitamin c. Which is it?
That is strange 🤔 I've been juicing turmeric with ginger... stains my juice press but well worth it.
Thank you do going the extra mile Eric to provide us quality information 👍🏽💯
Glad to help!
Waiting while drinking turmeric milk
Love from India 🇮🇳❤️
I drink iced turmeric tea with a splash of milk and a bit of stevia almost everyday. It's basically my dessert.
Really, really appreciate all good information that U share and also the check on effectiveness after heating.....and the sardines....Thank you
I think it's the same for tomatoes 🍅. The nutrients are retained, if not enhanced with cooking. Is this correct? 🤔
Great timing as I am drinking my turmeric
Dr. Berg it would be nice for you to warn people that there is different keto diets I started seeing keto stuff in the store thought it was okay started buying it and eating it and totally knock me off of my keto diet and fasting anyway I learned from that but maybe warn the people more or this will help I don't know what do you think thank you for everything you're awesome man
IT IS TIME...
for a list of what gets destroyed by heat and what does not.
I'll start:
_Vitamin C, maybe as much or even more than 90%_
I use turmeric almost everyday as a hot tea and have seem its benefits, but I'm glad to hear it from Dr Berg that he confirms it that heating it is actually good.
Hello Dr. Berg, First of all thank you, Since i have been following you i changed my eating habit's to your plan's And it has greatly changed my life and health 10 fold for the better I have a question along with the needed omega 3 do you also get the omega 6 which i read on Thomas DeLauer channel is not want you want in your diet.
Thank you. Good to know that because I always love to cook with turmeric and saffron together.
Yes he is a true gentleman in so many ways.. also enjoy many of his products
Is ground turmeric spice just as healthy? And how much should you eat per week to get the benefits?
Thanks for clearing this up. I find that turmeric powder helps me a lot and l do like to add it to some brew at times. So, most encouraging.
I put in my omellete and put organic black pepper with Himalayan salt and cook with Palm oil. Taste is amazing. Ideally you would use free range chicken eggs too but if you can't afford it, just buy normal and use organic turmmeric with black pepper and Himalayan salt. super good.
Dr Berg, what is your opinion on Fish oil capsules? Some evidence that the oil since it is Polyunsaturated is that it oxidizes very quickly and by the time it is consumed it is ineffective at raising Omega 3s. Or worse yet, it is actually counterproductive as oxidized PUFAs are known to be harmful, hence the recommendation NOT to consume seed oils. "Good" fish oils capsules are expensive and I wish there was direction from any of the trusted doctors on YT. Also, what about the bottles of cod liver oil? Same boat? So confusing.
I get terrible indigestion when I consume food that has turmeric or other spices . Can you please make a video on this matter
Very useful; I’ve been looking for ways to increase my intake of tumeric and heating it gives me many more ways to use it, thanks.
That Vinyl Guaiacol confirms to me that LP records are better than digital downloads.
What about taking a Pure Curcumin supplement? Please clarify explain this aspect .. Apart from this, Great wonderful video Dr. Eric Berg .. I never knew these info's despite being an Indian 😊✌️
Very well Dr. Berg.I thought so too that heat diminish turmeric's nutrient.After watching this video I have no more ifs and buts @ cooking turmeric.Thank you and more power to you.
