Garlic and other onions: Onions, particularly garlic, fights infection and bacteria through the active ingredient allicin. According to prevention.com, “British researchers gave 146 people either a placebo or a garlic extract for 12 weeks; the garlic takers were two-thirds less likely to catch a cold. Other studies suggest that garlic lovers who chow more than six cloves a week have a 30% lower rate of colorectal cancer and a 50% lower rate of stomach cancer.”
Any better reason to start chomping down on garlic on a daily basis?
