[Moderating]
OK, there’s no possible way you missed my note. I said not to discuss the use of this stuff for treating arthritis. I meant it. This is a Warning for failure to follow moderator instructions.
Strictly speaking, that was not a failure to follow moderator instructions: I did not mention arthritis (what is that, by the way?), much less discuss any relationship between it and turmeric. I’ll cop to gently pulling a moderator’s nose for bringing the hammer down on the introduction of a reviewed journal article, endorsed by the National Institutes of Health, but exactly what is the policy of the SDMB for moderators who do anti-science crap like that?
I’ve been warned, all right: warned not to try to defend posters who bring reviewed scientific journals into this forum. Clearly I have a decision to make.
[Moderating again (sigh)]
You were absolutely talking about arthritis, you know it, I know it, and everyone else who read your comment knows it. So there’s no sense playing coy.
And the reason that I put discussion of arthritis treatment off-limits in this thread is not because I’m anti-science. It’s because this is not the right forum for medical advice.
Speaking of “not the right forum”, it’s also not the right forum for discussion of moderator actions. If you want to discuss this further, start a thread in ATMB.
I bought some bulk turmeric today, and mixed it up in a jar with the other spices. I also purchased a bag of coconut milk powder because it was MUCH less expensive than the canned milk.
So, I’m all set for a while.
I’d be interested to hear how the coconut powder is. I was just looking at it and did pick up a powdered coconut creamer for coffee.
Now that the clip from post 18 has gone up, can someone answer whether golden milk can be made with milk?
The traditional recipe is made with coconut milk, but dairy milk could be used if that’s what you have on hand.
I mixed up the turmeric with the other spices and added it to reconstituted powdered coconut milk, and the result was VILE. I realized that I had used too much powder/not enough milk, and just made that overly spiced milk into soup with potatoes and onions, served over brown rice. YUMMY! 
My understanding is that this has become a big trend in Hollywood lately, and I think I recently saw the possibility of ordering it at some trendy coffee shop. Numi tea company sells a Turmeric Chai Golden Latte containing turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, licorice root and black pepper. Republic of Tea sells turmeric single sips, which contain turmeric, ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, black pepper, and monk fruit. You can find these in your local fancy grocery. Easier than making the spice mix yourself.
I’ve mixed it in coffee, in tea, or with cow’s milk. The spices make it taste pretty good, though I don’t like the way consuming a lot of turmeric changes body odor. My cat disliked the way I smelled after I ate curry, and this has far more turmeric than curry.
