The health benefits of garlic, besides warding of vampires, has long been known. New research conducted at the Ohio State University (OSU) has found “hints at garlic’s cancer-fighting potential”.
Researchers have designed a urine test that can simultaneously measure the extent of a potential carcinogenic process and a marker of garlic consumption in humans.
In a small pilot study, the test suggested that the more garlic people consumed, the lower the levels of the potential carcinogenic process were.
Good news for garlic lovers and those with cancer in their family tree!
