Eating Raw Garlic Twice a Week Nearly Halves Risk of Developing Lung Cancer

August 10th, 2013

Via: CBC News:

Eating raw garlic twice a week can cut the chances of lung cancer by almost half, new research suggests.

The results, published online Wednesday in the journal Cancer Prevention Research, showed those who ate raw garlic at least twice a week cut the risk of lung cancer by 44 per cent, even if they were exposed to high-temperature cooking-oil fumes, which is thought to be another trigger for the disease.

The herb even reduces the risk in smokers by 30 per cent, the research suggested.

    I eat raw garlic anywhere from 2-4 times/week, but for me the motivation was always the fact that it kept my digestion (specifically, my bowels) in tip top shape. Great to know about this latest bonus!
