Margaret and other curcumin takers sometimes take their curcumin along with coconut milk thinking that the curcumin is more bioavailable to the body when digested with the fat in coconut milk.  As it turns out this combo might yield another anti-myelomic benefit.  David

Mayo researchers isolate compound that obstructs cell growth
in multiple myeloma and other cancers fueled by certain proteins

"A recently published study by Drs. A. Keith Stewart and Rodger E.
Tiedemann of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center indicates that a substance
called kinetin riboside, prevents new cell growth in tumors controlled
by cyclin D proteins. (Cyclin D proteins are members of the cyclin
family of proteins related to cell division.) Kinetin riboside is found
in minute quantities in coconut milk and other natural plants and is
related to the hormones that govern root growth in plants."
