The point is that many people see just the headline, and from the headline they will only remember that turmeric kills people, and some of them will start avoiding turmeric due to this.
In a magazine like The Economist, which is considered to be a quality magazine, one can suspect that misleading titles might not be an accident.
If one is even slightly cynical about the attitude, which is not really that deeply hidden, use of turmeric reduces the need for medicine, which reduces profits, so it is contrary to the aims of the market-fundamentalist magazine.

I think until there is drastic action on behalf of India,
there should be a ban on import of turmeric or products containing turmeric.
Or at least as consumers we should avoid turmeric made in India.
