Which is, you know, HALF the list of miracle achievements from the earlier paragraph. Ajoene, for instance, is a sulfur compound found in garlic that, and this is a real list of its abilities: has antioxidant properties (fights cancer), anti-clotting properties (preventing heart attack and strokes), has antimicrobial and virucidal properties (fights bacteria, fungal, and viral infections), hinders integrin-dependent processes in immunovirus patients (slows HIV), and has been used in chemotherapy against skin, brain, and lung cancer, as well as leukemia (SUPER fights cancer). Whoops.Ī lot of this comes down to an error of scale: Garlic has a LOT of compounds in it, and many of those compounds DO have medicinal effects, when concentrated and isolated. …Which makes me pointing out that most of that benefit is just in your head unhelpful. In raw medicinal terms, there is some evidence that it helps prevent digestive tract cancers, but it wields its most powerful effect as a placebo: People have spent so much time BELIEVING garlic is good for them that eating it…is good for them. Well, that and all the crosses in the Vatican, but I digress. The health benefits, of course, not its deleterious effects on Draculas Those are well-recorded, and are why there are no vampires in Rome. The evidence of these claims has been.mixed. “I, Vlad Dracula, am strong enough to go toe-to-toe with the Justice League in the 70’s, but cannot handle your average plate of Italian food.”
