I doubt it as long as you bathe daily but be prepared to brush your
teeth often if you are in a close and intimate relationship.

Ask the author of the book. Having written a book, he ought to
be a subject matter expert.

From what I've heard, nobody has isolated the active ingredient
in garlic so I don't think he would know. But I doubt your
Chechens were eating it raw, any more than anybody else in the
world. So put lots of garlic in your chili, lamb and lentils,
Chinese stir fry, borscht, minestrone, and marinara sauce, but
use the bulbs not the powdered stuff.

of garlic juice per day for a month or so (I am going by memory) and
they dropped their cholesterol 28 points.

Also I know that Chechens (a tribe in Russia who wages a secessionist
insurgency in Russia) eat a lot of garlic and they are very strong and
brave and intelligent warriors (not that I would like to have them as
my neighbors). Obviously their ability could be due to something other
than garlic

I never could eat it raw due to its strong taste. I am reading the
_120 year diet_ bok by Roy Walford (have not yet formed an opinion
about it) and he suggests eating garlic after simmering it in boiling
hot water for 5 minutes. Very easy. I tried eating a whole clove of
garlic prepared this way this morning, and in fact it was quite tasty
and wholesome feeling. In fact I could easily eat a clove a day if it
is cooked like this.

My question is, first, does this cooking method kill any "nutrients"
in garlic.

Second, is it really such a useful and helpful thing or not.

You can buy supplements that are almost as good as eating it raw or cooked.
Also, there are odorless supplements that are made by adding parsely.
Parsely somehow "sucks" up the smell. I take them every day.

What I think isn't important because a) I'm not a subject
matter expert and b) I don't have a writeup from subject
matter experts to quote. See the web site I just posted.

Thanks. Yes, I plan to use natural garlic cloves and not powder from
gelcaps etc. It is nice to hear that it can be cooked and still be
useful.

Do you agree that itis a beneficial product?

I don't know how useful it is. I eat a fair amount of garlic, though my
cholesterol has been high (there are genetic factors regarding cholesterol
in my family). The body of folk knowledge from many cultures would certainly
speak of it's value, IMO.

I find that eating the cloves after baking them in an oven particularly
enjoyable (I like roasting new potatoes with cloves and rosemary in a small
amount of olive oil). The cloves become soft and you can squeeze the pulp
out. It becomes very soft and tastes slightly sweet.

As to whether you will smell really bad...

One of my favorite ways to eat garlic is to bake it and then spread it
on chunks of bread, crisp bread, meats, potato etc.. Here in Central
Texas most everyone has one of these
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22te...garlic%20baker to
bake their garlic. The taste is amazing and it isn't as "garlicky" as
you think. I would venture to guess that by baking you lose less
nutrient than you would boiling or frying. I have wild garlic growing in
my yard which I pull up 2x a year and hang to dry in my barn, I don't
think it's more beneficial or anything. It's just something I happen to
have and it saves a tad of money.

I don't know how to cook without garlic. Breakfast is the only meal I have
with no garlic - oatmeal with garlic?? hmmmmmmm.

I have had no complaints from my wonderfully honest friends.

Just curious. I know that it's hard to tell.

I can't say - I've eaten it all my life. For my birthday one year I asked
my mom could we please have steak without garlic just once? Blech - it was
awful! It just makes everything taste better. My dad used to make little
slits in a roast and shove the cloves inside before cooking. There's a
Chinese take-out near my sister that makes eggplant in garlic sauce I've
tried to replicate for years. I'm shocked when I hear people say they don't
like garlic. It's just normal to me.

Roasted and squeezed on your sourdough would be so yummy. It can't hurt, Ig
