Q: How can you remove garlic odor from your breath?
A: The best way is to be sure everyone is eating garlic! But short of that, chewing a sprig of fresh parsley, takes a lot of edge off garlic breath, and it is a great source of iron.

Garlic is news. More and more people are talking about it, growing it, cooking and eating it for its reputed health benefits. It has been used medicinally for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians used it, Greek atheletes chewed it, and in medieval times it was believed to keep vampires at bay. Today we use garlic in countless recipes. Statistics show, that here in the USA garlic consumption, has more than tripled during the 1990s because of its growing popularity in food, as a dietary supplement or herbal remedy.

There are many medicinal benefits attributed to the use of garlic, and it seems not to matter if the garlic is fresh or powdered. Here are two studies which link specific components of garlic to health benefits.

1. The Nutritional Science News (February 1999, Vol. 4, No. 2) reported a lowering of cholesterol in rat liver cells. Three chemicals were responsible for this, s-allyl cysteine, s-ethyl cysteine and s-propyl cysteine, all of them extracted from fresh garlic bulbs. However, researchers noted that the same chemicals were present in deoderized, processed and aged garlic.

2. A German study of 261 patients, found a 12% drop in mean serum cholesterol and 17% drop in triglyceride for those patients using powdered garlic tablets compared to a placebo group.
