Is garlic beneficial to one's health?

[guapo337]

I'm becoming a garlic whore. We have this big thing of granulated garlic here, and I am beginning to like to put it on everything. Is it beneficial in any way?

it's very benefitial, though i can't exactly remember why.

Garlic actually contains a pretty good natural antibiotic, comparable to penicillin.

Who cares what it does in terms of health. It's just tasty and leave it at that. In fact if that thing was chock full of cholesterol I would still eat it.

I have a friend who takes a garlic pill every day to lower his blood pressure or cholesterol (I forget which).
