Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina discovered three elements found in garlic that are effective in the killing of a fast growing type of brain cancer cell.
"This research highlights the great promise of plant-originated compounds as natural medicine for controlling the malignant growth of human brain tumor cells," according to Swapan Ray PhD.
"To take advantage of any potential anti-cancer benefits from garlic cut and peel a piece of fresh garlic. . . and let it sit for fifteen minutes before eating or cooking it. This time allows for the release of an enzyme (allinase) that produces the anti-cancer compounds. Eating too much garlic can cause diarrhea, allergies, and internal bleeding, so it is important to monitor garlic consumption."
