Turmeric didn't affect my appetite, but ginger seems to reduce it by 400 cals, that's what drew my attention here. Perhaps ginger reduces appetite by improving digestion. More digestion means more nutrient uptake, signalling the brain that the body is adequetely fed and to reduce food cravings.
The Lancet. 1  The Lancet medical journal, established 1823. 2  The Lancet survey of Iraq War dead, 2004 claimed 100,000 people had died in Iraq in 2003-04. 3  2nd Lancet study (and here and here), Oct 2006, claims 650,000 Iraqis have died.
In Bush's last year in office, the Iraqi civilian death toll was at around 10,000. Under Obama, it hit 20,000 in 2014. And it's still very high. Nearly 19,000 civilians were killed in Iraq between January 2014 and October 2015 -- a toll the United Nations calls staggering in a new report. This is worse than all but two of the worst years under Bush. By Bush's last year in office, the Surge, which Obama opposed, had worked and the violence had died down.
