Very well identified, the cropping up of such an article should not be taken at face value.

Consider such scenarios too which impact profit of specific industries namely Pharma

1. Demand for curcumin has greatly increased leading to an inflation of its market price in recent years

2. Turmeric is an age old go to antiseptic and antibiotic. During Covid it was very common for Indian families to consume turmeric flavored milk as a way of keeping the virus out.

Almost all health, medicinal, sensational articles irrespective of their source publication have to be put under the critical lens of global corporate profit motive

Am I saying there is no adulteration, am not. Just that the publishing intent is no saint either.

I assume the article appeared because recently the government of Bangladesh and/or India declared a big political victory over turmeric adulteration. Where there are ten articles, it's not a big surprise that there are 11 articles.
