Garlic's ancient reputation as a healing food seems to be well deserved. These are some highlights of the support from modern research:

Heart Health: Evidence from epidemiological studies suggests that higher garlic consumption correlates with reduced progression of cardiovascular disease. Garlic can reduce artery calcifcation, blood pressure, platelet aggregation (blood "stickiness"'), blood levels of triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and free radicals, and like HDL cholesterol, help prevent and potentially reverse formation of arterial plaque.
Immunity/Antioxidant Capacity: Garlic is a very good source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, selenium and manganese, which benefit heart health and the body's antoxidant network.
Inflammation: Garlic inhibits pro-inflammatory enzymes (lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase) and nuclear transcription factors (Nf-kappB) linked to cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes, allergy, asthma, arthritis, Crohn's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.
Cancer: Evidence from epidemiological studies suggests that garlic and onions may reduce the risk of several common cancers substantially.
