Yes, turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. IMHO, it rivals prescription meds like Vioxx in potency.
I had never heard of any MAO activity, but guess what? There's one recent study out of China which suggests there is MAO activity of aqueous extracts of turmeric in rats.....but we're talking massive doses. Truly massive doses. Roughly equivalent to 35 grams in a human. And, the article doesn't give the magnitude of the inhibitory effect.
