Garlic Fights Cancer!!!
Eating garlic seems to protect against stomach and Colo-
rectal cancer, researchers report. Dr. Lenore Arab and colleagues from
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill analyzed 18 studies looking at
garlic eaters.
The average intake of the highest consumers of raw or cooked garlic was
18.3 grams per week (about six cloves). Based on six studies, the findings
suggest "high consumption of raw or cooked garlic
decreases the risk of colorectal cancer from 10% to nearly
50%," the authors write. Based on four studies, the risk of
developing stomach cancer was cut in half for those who
consumed the most garlic. [American Journal of Clinical Nutrition October,
2000;72:1047-1052.]
Modern science has shown that garlic is a powerful natural
antibiotic, albeit broad-spectrum rather than targeted. The body
does not appear to build up resistance to the garlic, so its
positive health benefits continue over time.

| Garlic is especially mellow in taste when roasted for long periods of time. Store garlic in mesh onion bags, or in a cool place that is out of the sunlight. Never store whole garlic heads in the refrigerator or freezer. If you have leftover chopped or minced garlic, cover it with oil, refrigerate and use within a day or two. |
To rid your breath of garlic chew fresh parsley, a slice of raw ginger or fresh mint.
