How to eat RAW garlic and why

Eating raw garlic does not have to be torture. I do it almost daily....sick or not. And it MUST be raw. So many articles, books and websites encourage the use of garlic but then tell you to add it to recipes that involve heat. Big mistake. Most of the magic of garlic is lost if it is heated. And you must eat a lot of it. Eating one token clove just to say you did it won't help much at all......though one clove a day is certainly better than nothing. But I wouldn't get the food processor dirty for one clove. If I'm sick I try to eat an entire bulb of garlic a day. If I'm not sick I eat 5-8 cloves a day. Garlic is good for so many ailments and more importantly the PREVENTION of ailments. Many sources also recomend that you cut it up and let it sit for several minutes before eating it. This supposedly let important enzymes release. I don't know the chemistry behind that but I let it sit for a while anyway.....what could it hurt?

some people say raw garlic is poison some say it's a miracle herb who is right???

[mensacyclist]

@amgjens Well, it's clearly not a poison so you do the math.

There is absolutely no scientific evidence for your claims, it's just something you believe. I'm sure if you did an objective study, you would find Garlic has no effect on the duration of a cold.

@JasonMarano You statement is idiotic and can be disproven quickly and easily. There have been many studies over the last century in every corner of the world. Why make such a stupid statement that can be disproven in minutes of internet research or by checking the footnotes in any book on garlic?

@mensacyclist continuation #3 - ....thus producing more "hormone producing hormones" - used by your immune system to produce more white blood cells (can't be specific since again... your intake of garlic causes a different positive feedback in your body - as I personally don't get better by simply consuming garlic). I hope this cleared this case for youtube's viewers, have a great day!

[mensacyclist]

@albertolinguini Yes, you cleared it up. You are wise and we are all fools prone to delusions. I'll stop eating garlic now.

@togettothetop So if i open it and just chop on it right away will i get the full effect of the allicin ?

[tyakack]

I just pop it in my mouth and eat it raw. Is that ok?

@JasonMarano I had a cold that was in the developmental stages a few weekends ago. I tried to eat as much garlic as I could and the shit worked! I was only sick for a day or two and the cold never came to complete fruition. The garlic worked great and I will be using it again the next time these people on my bus get me sick!

[FordsAreSick11]

I want to eat it in the fresh grow state

[albertolinguini]

@mensacyclist I personally love eating food with garlic, just not eating it that way or taking it for any reason whatsoever, specially keep count of how many times a day I eat it. But I'm still one to say do whatever you like, you only live once anyway.
