The pharmaceutical companies in the U.S have been trying to make FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to change the classification of turmeric from spice to drug. So that they can manufacture it. And sell it to the American public as a drug. But unfortunately FDA has disapproved of this approach as they believe. Turmeric was a spice for thousands of years and should remain as a spice. If FDA did happen to change the classification then this would have been a turning point in American history. As turmeric has the most potential cure for many diseases particularly all kinds of cancers. Maybe children with numerous birth defects could have been prevent with the use of the turmeric drug.
