 Turmeric oleoresin ingestion was also associated with increased incidences of ulcers, hyperplasia, and inflammation of the forestomach, cecum, and colon in male rats and of the cecum in female rats.

It seems like "antioxidants" aren't so healthy

It seems rather taking 1 odd mouse-study as verdict on a common dietary item in human consumption as 'verdict' - despite all the research to the contrary in humans - isn't really so healthy.

This study is from 1993. It's a toxicology study from an era before people realized how flavonoids work or how important they are. Countless thousands of studies have been completed on curcumin & turmeric since then.

It's date should not be a problem. Gravity was discovered in the 1700s, yet we still know it's true.

Again, this was a toxicology study where rats where fed enormous quantities in order to see what the health effects were. There was a lot of data listed, but it looks like the negative effects mainly showed up in the highest consumption group, who were fed 2,800 mg/kg turmeric extract. This works out to much more than the highest tolerable human dose, which is a total of about 8g or so.
