Default Fresh Garlic

Fresh garlic is very good for us, it helps to reduce cholesterol. Do you try to eat some of it, and if yes, how do you do it?

I use the trick my mom had taught me when I was very little: I slice a garlic clove up and hide a thin slice between two layers of bologna or salami sausage (bite size). It actually tastes very good!

I eat garlic almost every day. I add it to sauces as I am cooking, I make Garlic mayo and I even have my very own garlic oil. But by far my favorite way to eat garlic is in some home made garlic bread...I'm hungry now!!

Believe me or not, i eat a clove of garlic directly as it is daily early in the morning, it is good anti-biotic & anti-cholesterol.

Okay. I don't eat fresh garlic much - at least not a clove at a time - but I do eat a lot of it. Almost all the food we cook in the house has garlic in it. Then there's garlic bread, garlic butter, garlic sauce. I am truly a fan of garlic.

They also say that fresh garlic is good for a toothache. It kills the bacteria and somehow soothes the pain. I haven't tried it though. But I have read that garlic does give a lot of benefits for our health. They also say that garlic can strengthen the nails if you rub it on your nails.

Especially in cases of postnatals soon after delivery, they have tenderness of the nails at that time if we heat oil with garlic added and applied to the nails it relieves pain, i personally experienced.

LOL farce! I agree about the smell - one needs to be careful as to when they eat fresh garlic. Certainly NOT recommended before going to a social event. I make sure I don't have any appointments when I eat it. Also, brushing teeth thoroughly right after usually helps.

Fresh garlic have the capacity to reduce pressure and to dissolve the fat in our body. If the pregnant women have it daily it will increase the milk secretion.

I think fresh garlic is good for the health. It is also good to eat for someone has high blood pressure.

I can't eat fresh garlic on its own but I always add it into the food I am cooking. That way, it doesn't smell too strong and the taste is somehow milder. I find it too potent to just eat without mixing it with some other ingredients.

Ok, I hate spams and spammers, but I got an email from my friend discussing the negative effect of garlic. So I will copy and paste it here to have you getting the information completely.
@ Mod: if it is considered a spam, please feel free to delete it

Quote:
Garlic as Brain Toxin
Dr. Robert C. Beck

This article is on the negative effects of garlic. While everyone has heard of the medicinal effects of garlic, few know as to how garlic effects the brain negatively and should be avoided as a regular food item. Yogiis have known this for thousands of years and that is why they have called it a tamasika (static) food.
The reason garlic* is so toxic, the sulphone* hydroxyl* ion penetrates the blood-brain barrier, just like DMSO [a sulfoxide*], and is a specific poison for higher-life forms and brain cells. We discovered this, much to our horror, when I (Bob Beck, DSc) was the world's largest manufacturer of ethical EEG [electroencephalogr aphy*] feedback equipment.

We'd have people come back from lunch that looked clinically dead on an encephalograph, which we used to calibrate their progress. "Well, what happened?" "Well, I went to an Italian restaurant and there was some garlic in my salad dressing!" So we had them sign things that they wouldn't touch garlic before classes or we were wasting their time, their money and my time.

I guess some of you ... are pilots or have been in flight tests... I was in flight test engineering in Doc Hallan's group in the 1950s. The flight surgeon would come around every month and remind all of us: "Don't you dare touch any garlic 72 hours before you fly one of our airplanes, because it'll double or triple your reaction time. You're three times slower than you would be if you'd not had a few drops of garlic."

Well, we didn't know why for 20 years later, until I owned the Alpha-Metrics Corporation. We were building biofeedback equipment and found out that garlic usually desynchronises your brain waves.

So I funded a study at Stanford and, sure enough, they found that it's a poison. You can rub a clove of garlic on your foot - you can smell it shortly later on your wrists. So it penetrates the body. This is why DMSO smells a lot like garlic: that sulphone hydroxyl ion penetrates all the barriers including the corpus callosum* in the brain.

Any of you who are organic gardeners know that if you don't want to use DDT, garlic will kill anything in the way of insects.

Now, most people have heard most of their lives garlic is good for you, and we put those people in the same class of ignorance as the mothers who at the turn of the century would buy morphine sulphate in the drugstore and give it to their babies to put 'em to sleep.

If you have any patients who have low-grade headaches or attention deficit disorder, they can't quite focus on the computer in the afternoon, just do an experiment - you owe it to yourselves. Take these people off garlic and see how much better they get, very very shortly.

And then let them eat a little garlic after about three weeks. They'll say "My God, I had no idea that this was the cause of our problems." And this includes the de-skunked garlics, Kyolic, some of the other products.
Very unpopular, but I've got to tell you the truth.

Interesting article... This is the first time I hear that garlic can be so bad for you. I suppose anything can be bad in excessive amounts. It is best not to overdo it.

Actually, most kinds of vegetarians and yoga practitioners don't eat garlic and now I know the reason. Yes, like medicines, garlic may help some health problems. But like medicines also, it is not to take on a regular basis as if it is food.

I don't like eating garlic as it leaves a bad taste in my mouth but I saw garlic supplements in health stores. Do you think it will have the same effect?

I had no idea that garlic was that good for you! What else can garlic do? I mean fresh garlic not the kind of garlic that has been made in pill form. I really do feel that freshis the best.

It's easier to eat garlic when it's finely chopped. So fine that you can no longer taste it because it's mixed in with the other stuff.
