I have been taking turmeric every day for over 10 years. I take it in fresh form, not in powder form.

I'm sitting here sipping golden milk right now.....and I was feeling all good about it....😮

Could have added any simple method to detect Lead Chromate in the turmeric powder - at the household level - for educating the viewers.

[@lilycarolyn4Christ]

Choose organic, branded turmeric or raw turmeric you make the powder 😊 that's safe bet

Not to undermine their country. But what a sad state Of India. We were ahead in so many levels to countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh. Now we are taking lessons from them.

[@rmrrao2675]

This is bait and click. It is exclusively about the problem of adulterated Turmeric in Bangladesh. How is it sad for India or any other country?

The video could have talked a minute about educating the consumers!Don’t buy if it’s too bright! And the video could have talked about conducting a test at home for consumers 😢

So buy from trusted Big Brands, not from your local kirana brand. Local was never safe in India. So don't be a mad fan of Vocal for Local 🤭

[@factchecker2090]

Big brands do not grow cultivate dry and grind turmeric by themselves.
They outsource it from smaller players and market it under their Brand Umbrella!!!
The only way u can be sure is getting ur Turmeric tested in a Testing Lab in ur city which should cost u around 3000 bux.

Well village buys from farmers it's mostly for tier 2 or 3 cities

@@factchecker2090 Big brands have stringent procurement process and more liability, more likely to have lesser fraud...

[@shobhanaren27]

Big Brands like whom??

[@iXpress]

@@shobhanaren27 Tata, MDH, Everest...

[@Sathish_12]

This is why we never use turmeric powder in cooking

[@Bittu_naruto]

But people are busy in protecting Hinduism

[@iXpress]

hahah...and you are busy in Mughalism, Hamasism ....🤪

[@pavankumarvakulabharanam6717]

It should be protected at all costs

[@Vk-wx8ls]

Most of the adulteration done by mullas and mullah companies.
