What a brilliantly scathing report from @TheEconomist. Like it or not, this puts India, where the current Govt, which has very little interest in public health, in a very tough place. Turmeric is the golden spice that you never thought is killing you and your children softly. "The heart and brain diseases it causes—to which children are especially susceptible—accounted for at least 1.4m deaths in South Asia in 2019." "Yet adulterated turmeric looks like a major culprit almost everywhere, chiefly owing to poor practice in India, which produces 75% of the spice. India was the source of much of the poisonous pigment found in Bangladesh and is estimated to have the highest incidence of lead poisoning of any country." And this is excluding potential lead poisoning sources from herbal medicines and supplements that children, adolescents, adults and the elderly consume daily in India. Bangladesh is winning against turmeric related public health worry because they allowed the work of NGOs with razor sharp focus and empathy towards public health to function without obstacles. And the Indian Government is busy with other "important" matters while it's citizens and children are left to suffer.
