Garlic
Perhaps the most significant
effect of garlic is on
the lipid profile of the blood
and tissues. It lowers cholesterol,
triglycerides, and LDL
cholesterol levels, while increasing
the beneficial HDL
cholesterol. Onions have the
same effect.
The bulb of the plant is
a relative of onions and
chives. The flavor is very
strong use chopped, minced,
and powdered to season
many dishes.
Researchers at Loma
Linda University have found
that compounds in garlic activate
enzymes in the liver
that destroy aflatoxin, a potent
carcinogen produced by
mold that can grow on peanuts
and grains. Aflatoxins
are a leading cause of liver
cancer.
