Current scientific research, reported by a longitudinal Harvard study of almost a half million Chinese men and women, showed evidence that adding curry to their diet decreased their risk of premature death by 14%. The study, conducted over a 7 year period, showed that people eating curry at least 3 times a week seemed to live longer.
This adds to the evidence from previous studies which have concluded that curry is beneficial in increasing metabolism, lowering the bodies inflammation (CANCER-FIGHTING) and combatting heart disease. In that context, the results of the Harvard study showing increased longevity, make sense.

In the current study, the subjects ate meals chock full of Chili, that is packed with disease fighting nutrients that keeps weight down and fights inflammation.
