There's been several turmeric related stories this past week (not here, but i've seen several elsewhere).

The title is "Turmeric is the culprit in a global lead poisoning ..."

That is editorializing. It is a lie. they found that some markets use lead chromate to improve the product's beauty before sale.

The title leads one to believe that all or even most turmeric has lead in it, which just isn't the case.

You can find links on this site going back years to the fact that adulterating turmeric is a common thing if you think you can get away with it and many think they can even do that on exports.

I'm so sorry you aren't a child in a middle income country?

Most children can be poisoned eventually by a food contamination even if only some percentage of the food is contaminated because most childhoods are years long and most parents don't procure exactly the same supplies..
