Garlic more than just delicious?

Garlic could very well be gaining popularity, and not just because Italian food is delicious. A new study shows that a compound in garlic could be up to 100 times more effective than common antibiotics against bacteria that cause most intestinal illness. This research could very well revolutionize the sanitation industry for the better, as nature shows us yet again that biodiversity allows us to solve even our cultures problems with less embodied energy, thus cheaper more effective societal implementation.

  1. I have heard before garlic is really healthy for your digestive system. Onions as well. I remember you saying you were allergic to a lot of stuff. Is garlic one?

  2. Fortunately not! I can eat anything as long as it has been cooked. Seems strange but raw broccoli will make me break out in hives around my mouth, but if i steam it for a few minutes i am fine.. quite strange.. not sure chemically what is happening
