Funny they should say the 'cautionary tale' is 'for chemists', given that the article itself then says:
'For years, chemists have urged caution about curcumin and other compounds that can mislead naive drug hunters.'
More in general, I wonder how many natural products are chemically just as ugly as curcumin, but nevertheless do have important applications in therapy.
