US Researchers Say "Weekly curry may fight dementia"

According to BBC News a researcher at Duke University in the USA has suggested that eating curry may reduce the chance of dementia.

It seems to me that every so often these stories come along, which have a nice soundbite like this. In reality though this is just a hypothesis without any firm evidence to back it up. We will have to wait and see what the outcome of any in depth study is.

Then of course the question will be, "What about the beer that goes with a night at the curry house?"
