Looks like Curry has many benefits. A while back, there was another article posted on the BBC about how Curry could help prevent rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis.

Extract of a spice used in curry could help prevent rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis, US research suggests.

I wonder what the rate of these diseases in people of the Indian Subcontinent is since they consume a lot of curry.

Yes you are right!
Indians consume a lot of curry with rice and khichdi which is very beneficial to health.
But the rates of these diseases are not as low as they should be!
