DESCRIPTION: The DNA of those cooking with spices such as ginger, rosemary, and turmeric appears less susceptible to breakage.

What landmark study? You may have missed the first half. See my last video, Which Spices Fight Inflammation? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-spices-fight-inflammation).

For some other extraordinary benefits of spices, see:

• Benefits of Fenugreek Seeds (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/benefits-of-fenugreek-seeds/)
• Cayenne Pepper for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Chronic Indigestion (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cayenne-pepper-for-irritable-bowel-syndrome-and-chronic-indigestion/)
• Saffron for the Treatment of PMS (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/saffron-for-the-treatment-of-pms/)
• Saffron for the Treatment of Alzheimer's (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/saffron-for-the-treatment-of-alzheimers/)

There are a few herb and spice caveats. See, for example:

• Don't Eat Too Much Nutmeg (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dont-eat-too-much-nutmeg/)
• The Safety of Tarragon (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-safety-of-tarragon/)
• The Safer Cinnamon (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-safer-cinnamon/)

Too much turmeric (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/oxalates-in-cinnamon/) may also not be a good idea for those at risk for kidney stones.

Feel free to check out my Healthy Pumpkin Pie (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/healthy-pumpkin-pie-2/) recipe for one of many ways to spice up your diet.
