Golden Milk / Guldmjölk

Turmeric has a strong anti-inflammatory effect on the body and some say that turmeric combined with black pepper stimulates spontaneous apoptosis (death)  in cancer cells (Servan-Schreiber ”Anticancer” 2011). A paste made from turmeric and black pepper makes a anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer food that can be used in  stews, dressings and more. The paste is used to make a tasty golden milk as a cure for joint pain.
