How many of us think that Garlic has medicinal values in it?

I like the smell of it when it is cooking. I don't like the smell of it on someone else's breath or if it comes out in their body odor, then it is just plain nasty. I do love the flavor of garlic it can taste so good. I have read that it has medicinal qualities but I have also heard that some of what has been said about its medicinal qualities is not completly true. I mainly just eat it because it tastes good.

i love garlic specially toasted garlic. it is also beneficial. garlic helps lower blood pressure and it has antibiotics. but be careful cause everything in much is bad. eating too much of garlic is not good for the stomach.

I like garlic and I am sure it has positive effects on people's health. I can't say I dislike the smell of garlic, I like both smell and taste. The only bad thing about garlic is that bad breath that can last for a very long time, especially if you won't brush your teeth. Chewing gum is useless in this case.

Hi KMaroon, yes I like eating garlic and love the flavour it gives to food dishes. living out here in Thailand garlic and chili are the 2 main ingredients in most of heir cooking. If they are not added into the cooking small dishes are available and you add them raw to your food. The interesting thing is the raw garlic that we add and eat are very small cloves and have taste but don't leave a smell on the breathe. Garlic I have been told by many doctors is a natural way of cleansing and purifying the blood and since I have been eating raw garlic and chili the mosquitoes leave me well alone. Maybe, they don't like the taste or smell, hehehe!

I do love garlic, I put it in a lot of dishes when I cook, and I often order dishes with garlic in them in restaurants too. I eat garlic on a regular basis and I am rarely sick, so I do thing it is good for you too. The only thing that can bother me sometimes is the smell of your breath after you eat it, but I think it is a small price to pay for something so yummy!
