Chewing garlic may be a good way to consume it but it's a bit too intense for me personally. I prefer smashing it, dicing it and then cooking it briefly on low heat - usually in some olive oil. I tend to eat or supplement with some parsley during meals containing garlic. I find that helps with any issues relating to bad breath or body odor. Be well! JP Tom,

Anyway, I regularly take garlic pills. Maybe the researchers forgot to factor ajoene, whose active component Scordinin, has vasodilating properties which prevents the formation of arterial plaque. “Most importantly, we should be very careful before dismissing a food with thousands of years worth of validation just because 13 recent studies contradict long-held, historical wisdom.” –Healthy Fellow

Garlic rasam sounds both delicious and health promoting. I'll see if it's available when I next visit an Indian restaurant. I wonder if you could add a *little bit* of raw garlic to your cucumber/carrot juice? Perhaps adding a small amount of parsley would also help to mellow the potent garlic smell and taste. That's just one possibility. Please let us know if you find a suitable way to integrate raw garlic into your diet. It may be useful for other site visitors too. :) Be well! JP Sai,

I have actually tried raw garlic but i cannot stand that taste. In India it is regular to cook garlic rasam (much similar to broth but more liquid) with turmeric and tomato. I really used to love it, But that is cooked, I am just just trying to get the raw garlic in some form. Thanks Sai. Thank you sir for the link.

I don't mean that in a bad way however. I think the research conducted on aged garlic extract is very promising indeed. Here's a link to one of the most impressive studies of late: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6WPG-4WN2XP5-3&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=344f4502d904fa8ab284238df769e30a Be well!
