- wreckosaurus, on 10/18/2007, -1/+16Awesome, I'm a grad student at UAB, I just started working for the lab that's doing this research. It's exciting to see this in the news.
- look4alec, on 10/17/2007, -5/+19It also works great for warding off sexual activity

- allaboutdatiki, on 10/17/2007, -0/+9And it's especially good if you *both* eat it ... :)
- Error601, on 10/17/2007, -1/+9As long as there's nothing bad. Just think how much food would suck without garlic.

Eat more garlic. - MasterThief117, on 10/17/2007, -0/+4Now you gave diggers a scapegoat.
- fantasticFlan, on 10/17/2007, -0/+4So that part of the myth is just a myth, good to know.
- DMDekoth, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3Hooray for Garlic! And the garlic festival!
- p0ss, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3I find that garlic doesn't just make my breath smell, it actually makes my sweat smell the next day. Same with onions. anyone else found this?
- chicagobiker, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3It has something to do with that type of plant Garlic and Onions are (they're from the same family). There's an article I read somewhere out there that was talking about the effects of these chemicals saying that if you were to step on a clove of garlic barefoot in about 5 minutes you would be able to taste it as it would absorb through your skin.
Garlic is great stuff. It's been used for millennia as medicine - MatTipton, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3The article says absolutely nothing about "toxins".
I guess it doesn't really matter. Keep on fighting those toxins, America. We salute you! ... [end sarcasm] - reddevil3, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3"Certainly in areas where garlic consumption is high, such as the Mediterranean and the Far East, there is a low incidence of cardiovascular disease."
That is true...I come from the Mediterranean and heart-attacks is quite rare compared to America (even when it comes to obese people). - RobotBuddha, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3The research does seem positive so far, from what little I've looked into it. I still cringe when I hear the word "toxins" though.
- inactive, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2The roasted garlic and chicken pizza i just ate fights off my girlfriend
- Zonks, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2If you're a fan of Nochnoj Dozor (Night Watch) you'd know that it is a myth that garlic wards off vampires, started by Bram Stoker himself.
- stutimandal, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2More of garlic green beans in my lunch then!
- liquidfirex, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Also greatly increase no2 and thus erection strength, bit of a catch 22
- darknite1979, on 10/17/2007, -3/+5Ive known for years that garlic is good for you.
- dext3r, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Man, I could really go for some fresh garlic or some horseradish right now. I'm trying to kill this cold that has been lingering for a couple weeks now. Usually that ***** will do the trick.
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Hold-Your-Nose Billy heard saying, "I knew that all along!"
- maz2331, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Just counteract that side-effect with a bottle of wine.
- graphictype, on 10/17/2007, -1/+3Is this really news?
- dext3r, on 10/17/2007, -1/+2pics!
- KeepSwinging, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1John Dorian M.D. is what i think you meant
- fuzzynyanko, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1I see more Christmas stuff than Halloween stuff at different stores... kinda scary in a way.
- reddevil3, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1That used to happen with me too (mom put too much garlic in food when I was younger...I didn't realize it then).
So just put very little garlic powder in your cooking, and eat it only a few times each week at most. - EmoSLWarrior, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1There is much truth to this. However, the real key is raw fresh garlic. Ideally to be crushed within your mouth by your own teeth. The reason is that the beneficial enzyme called Allicin only occurs when the garlic is raw and recently crushed. Allicin loses it's potency very quickly and becomes worthless when cooked or when it sits past about five minutes.
- fantasticFlan, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1Ed Wood came first.
- phenolholic, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1come on.. i was waiting for a "yeah and it also (insert list of bad things of garlic other than obvious foul breath and repulsive taste)" comments
- LastSight, on 10/17/2007, -1/+2shocking. . .who would have thought that garlic was good for you?
- unorginalityftw, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1Yes, but garlic is powerful.
Also: don't eat an entire clove at once.
1) It Burns.
2) The smell doesn't go away for days.
Bad times. - inactive, on 10/18/2007, -0/+1I don't care if it cures cancer, I am NOT sticking garlic cloves up my NOSE! Or inhaling cinnamon, you can't fool me twice!
- inactive, on 10/18/2007, -0/+1Pizza delivery boy bangs castle doorknocker.

Pizza boy: "Garlic pizza like you ordered!"
Dracula: "Those damned village pranksters! If I catch those little bastards, they're DEAD!" (shakes fist) - CountBlah, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1Especially if you're an alien in an awful movie starring Mel Gibson.
- kansai22, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1We all know there were no vampires in Italy. Imagine the poor vampire that went to Italy and bite someone.

ba doom boom cha - jazzmichael, on 10/17/2007, -1/+1Thank for the information.
I always use garlic when I cook vegetables. If I don’t use it, I feel like not that much tastier. I have already known some benefits of garlic like helps in Heart Disease, which can lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. Garlic has also been used successfully for a variety of skin disorders. - sweetwood76, on 10/17/2007, -0/+0they failed to mention that it breaks down quickly when heated!
much like the benefits of olive oil! - CountBlah, on 10/17/2007, -0/+0Dugg in memory of Mitch
- tearor, on 10/17/2007, -1/+1Garlic Farts are teh bad!
- drrajeevgoyal, on 10/17/2007, -0/+0Garlic has been recently proved to be beneficial in tuberculosis, a major health problems in developing countries ans emerging in developed countries, treatment also, basically because of its antioxidant characters.
But the problem is that you cannot just eat a clove of garlic, as the component responsible for its healthy benefits is destroyed before absorption One way that has been suggested is absorption through buccal mucosa, but it is very irritating.
See Healthwize for more details on this. - EileanDonan, on 10/17/2007, -1/+0Look guys, a good way to eat garlic is to warm in a small pan 1/2 Honey and 1/2 Tumari. After mixing the two up and letting cool, take the skin off the garlic cloves, cut in half and plop them in the container. Let sit for several days and then you can eat them raw without the burn. Caution! Don't let roommates find out that the mixture makes a kick ass marinade for BBQ meats on the grill.
- inactive, on 10/17/2007, -3/+2Is this really news to anyone? WEll known for a long time.
- Walker2323, on 10/18/2007, -4/+1It's just too bad it makes a person smell like a stupid hippie.
No one likes a hippie. -
