Garlic's sulfur content is highest of all vegetables and three times higher than those vegetables known for their sulfur content--onions and broccoli!. It is beneficial as a source of selenium, an important trace mineral for antioxidant activity that helps to slow down the aging process!. Some biologists attribute Russia's and Bulgaria's impressive number of centenarians to the abundant quantities of garlic they consume!.
Garlic does not contain fiber or fat

Besides that garlic tastes great in certain recipes, it has many health benefits!. It's been used as a topical solution for wounds and skin problems!. It's also been used for intestinal disorders!. It's been known to reduce heart disease and cancer!. It helps stimulate the immune system - it's a great antibiotic in some cases!. I eat it quite a bit, but especially when I feel a cold coming on!. It's been known to help with the flu, mosquitoes, and high cholesterol!. It's a great antioxidant!. And has been known to restore physical strength!. Apparently, eating too much of it raw can cause irritation to your stomach and digestive tract!. also, storing it at room temperature in oil or too long in the fridge can form botulism!. It can alter some medications, especially when garlic is taken in the pill form!.
I haven't heard that garlic is better in a pill form, however!. I would think that eating it in your foods, raw, cooked or as an extract, is always better than any pill supplement!.

Garlic is not a wonder drug!. It's a tangy herb!. It's great in salads and all sorts of cooking!. I put three crushed cloves in my salad this evening, and my wife often makes that wonderful French dish, chicken with 40 cloves of garlic (poulet avec 40 gousses d'ail!.)
Garlic can be eaten crushed, raw, or it can be baked or sauted in oil!.
