> Garlic is the plant necessary in everyday life from the past until the present days. It contains active compounds that are responsible for its effect on almost every part of the human body. Garlic is an excellent tonic for the human organism. It has been used for medical treatment of everything, from ancient civilizations to date > From all of the above-mentioned data, it can be concluded that administration of garlic should not be avoided; on the contrary, its intake should be as much as possible since it underlies human health. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3249897/#sec1-3title https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3249897/#sec1-3...

Please read your own quote back to yourself. Does it make any hard, falsifiable claims (e.g. "eating one clove of garlic daily reduces the probability of catching a cold by 26%")? Does it make any prescriptive recommendations at all (at least to people that are not hyperlypemic)? Does it even sound remotely at all like hard science? Regardless of the validity of the health claims, does this mean people should actually start eating something that is repulsive to both them and everybody else around them?

  You had me at every until saying garlic is repulsive. Shots fired, I grown garlic but I most often consume it fried in olive oil to pull out compounds into the oils for flavor. Another way one is fermented with hot peppers to make hot sauce. Just a little bit of garlic goes a long way. One hint, always remove or discard the green "germ" or kernel of the garlic before using in food prep. The nasty garlic flavor comes from there. Planting and growing garlic is easy and for northerners we plant in the Autumn. Video related: https://youtu.be/GUYrN0o-cfk https://youtu.be/GUYrN0o-cfk

    Mate I'm a wog. I generally quadruple garlic amounts recommended in recipes. GP was suggesting eating it raw, though, in large quantity.
