  1. Just don’t be like an inexperienced friend of mine and mistake the wasabi for guacamole!

    I like wasabi, but someone Else can have the sushi.

  2. tye block says:

    I have heard that the wasabi we are familiar with is actually not the real deal. Is this true and where can we find real wasabi?

    1. it depends… the “ingredients” should read : Wasabi if horseradish is 1st, yeah it’s worthless health-wise AS wasabi… if wasabi is 1st it’s BETTER than if horseradish is listed 1st but not as good if WASABI is the only ingredient.

  3. Please don’t assign freelance humanitarians to write articles about health and science. The headline is the only accurate part of this article. Read the scientific study at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3918374/. It shows that wasabi compounds, applied in a solution to cancer cells in a lab, appear to destroy the cells. That is in no way the same as saying, “eat wasabi, you’ll never get pancreatic cancer.” Likewise the study about turmeric–that was based on injecting lab rats three times a week with a solution of curcumin dissolved in fat. These spices may well have health benefits when eaten, but it doesn’t translate.

  4. Turmeric/Curcumin/Cumin = Healthy body, leading to make good decisions, such as obtaining a degree of Arts. To write with authority, the author must research using critical thinking skills and write to convince readers the article is worthy of their attention. By the way, natural does NOT necessarily mean healthy —what’s natural? Opposite to synthetic?
