My uncle used to eat handfuls of garlic for the health benefits.
You could smell him from the next room. Whoa!
My grandfather ate a clove of garlic daily from my grandmother’s pickles. He was never sick. As a barber, one of his friends convinced him it was bad for him. My grandfather took note and stopped eating it. He got the flu and was in the hospital for three days. Began eating garlic again, never was sick again. Went to feed the cows one morning and laid down taking his last breath at almost 87 years old.
