My family hates it when I cook plain white rice, but when I add turmeric they love it because it resembles yellow rice. I didn't know it had all these great benefits. According to diabetes.org

The Staggering Costs of Diabetes

Growing Epidemic

Diabetes affects 30 million children and adults in the U.S. That's 1 in 11 Americans.
84 million Americans have prediabetes and are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. 90% of them din't know they have it.
Every 21 seconds someone in the U.S is diagnosed with diabetes.
Human Costs

African Americans and Hispanics are over 50% more likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites.
People with diabetes are at higher risk of serious health complications: stroke, blindness, kidney disease, and loss of toes, feet, or legs.
Economic Costs

The total cost of diabetes and prediabetes in the U.S. is $322 billion.
The average price of insulin increased nearly 3 times between 2002 and 2013.
People with diabetes have health care costs 2.3 times greater than those without diabetes

It's all about prevention, just like an apple a day keeps the doctor away, a little bit of turmeric a day, will keep the needle away.

Keep the great post coming.
