You should try eating the pickled garlics. Quite tasty and less potent to your breathe.
 
parsley neutralizes the garlic smell - just chew it up a bit and swallow.


*edit*

plus, parsley contains substantial quanitities of iron!
 
like others have said. eating garlic is actually quite good for your body. most specifically your skin. it helps your complexion a lot.
 
Raw? Ouch, that burns. Now if you roast garlic, I can eat a whole head in one sitting.

I think most of the beneficial compounds in garlic get metabolized by your stomach before it reaches your bloodstream. That's why they sell enteric-coated garlic pills.

metabolizing something means you process it for energy 😕

on second though... do you mean "broken down"?

meh, if you don't look too deeply into it, it makes sense. until you pay attention. 😛

I call shenanigans on this one, though.
 
I dice up raw garlic in my salad everyday..for something diffrent..try chewing raw ginger root..chew it up and put it between your cheek and gum and let the juice flow..I usually do that before I do my recumbant stationary workout.
