Is eating an entire head of garlic a day too much?!


Question: Is eating an entire head of garlic a day too much!?
I got into the habit of crushing a head of garlic + a chunk of fresh ginger and eating them with green tea (without chewing)!.!. Believe it or not but I don't smell of it one bit! Anyway, I started doing this because I was under the impression it is going to prevent my scabies infection from coming back!.

Is the amount of garlic I am eating per day toxic!? i have had no bad reactions to it (although it does burn my stomach when i eat it on an empty one)!. ThanksWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Eating garlic daily is a good habit!.
Because it makes your body blood active and maintains pressure of your blood and also very good for decreasing cholesterol level in your body so ultimately good for preventing heart diseases!.!.!.

Benefits of Garlic:-

Reduction of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and cancer
? A stimulation of immune function
? Enhanced foreign compound detoxification
? Radio protection
? Restoration of physical strength

----------------------------------------!.!.!.

The appropriate amount of garlic to consume is yet to
be determined!. The German Commission E monograph
(1998) proposed a daily intake of ~1-2 cloves of garlic
or ~4 g of intact garlic per day for maximal health
benefits!. However, there was no scientific evidence
to back this recommendation!.

So my dear friend you can continue what you are taking it is very very good for you!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

hopefully you have a partner that loves garlic!. Mine hates it but we have a compromise, I eat as much garlic as I can and he loves me anyway! Garlic is great for you! and I know you can't smell it but there is an old lady 2 blocks away that can smell it! Trust me!. It oozes out of your pores, I have been told by several people!. It's not too much to eat but offensive to others that have to smell your stinky breath!. When I eat garlic, I eat s**t loads of it, especially raw, but because of other's I don't do it very often!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I can't imagine it being bad for you at all!.

Garlic is great for your health and will help defend you against colds and flus as well!. Good mozzie repellent too!.

When I last felt a cold coming on, I chewed down a large, raw clove!.!.!. hurt my throat and make my tummy ache but it did the trick!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It won't hurt you a bit but believe me you must stink - you just can't smell it yourself!. I can smell people walking in the supermarket who have overindulged in garlic!.

They say it keeps germs away - it probably keeps everyone away!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Garlic is not toxic no matter how much you eat!. Although it has little nutritional value
Although i struggle to imagine you eating that much and not smelling!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My wife and I eat a whole garlic most days in our cooking!. Why ask on here when you could quite easily ask your doctor, especially as it is health related!.

You probably reek of garlic and don't realise it!. It will start to come out your pores in large amounts like that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yea, that's probably too much!. All foods should be enjoyed in moderation!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It will do nothing for scabies or any other illness!. But there is nothing wrong with garlic!.
Have you tried it cooked!? It's great mashed on toast!
My wife makes a French dish called chicken with 40 cloves of garlic!. It's basically chicken stewed in a good deal of olive oil with rosemary and lots and lots of garlic, and served on toast!. Yum!Www@FoodAQ@Com
