Lots of garlic: bad for the social life, good for your body

Categories: Nutrition & Supplements

Growing up in a family where a clove of garlic meant the whole bulb, it's not surprising I love garlic -- lots and lots of garlic. But while the taste is divine, there are some drawbacks -- the smell of your house a few hours after cooking garlic, for one. And the smell of your breath that can last well into the next day is another definite downside. But considering how good it is for you, maybe it's worth it.

According to this article, garlic is not only good for your heart, but it's good for preventing cancer too. Other uses of garlic? It can help prevent mosquito bites in the summer, and it can keep those dreaded vampires away. And it's a great, low-cal way to liven up your cooking.

How do you use garlic?
