Hi Terri,
There are a lot of companies out there that want you to believe that garlic will solve your heart disease problems. Unfortunately, the research just isn't there to support these claims. . . .yet. This is an area of ongoing research.
Dr. Kang recently published a good article - Garlic: Is it good for cholesterol?
Just because garlic doesn't have a strong link to reduced heart disease, doesn't mean it isn't a nutritious vegetable. Garlic is a good antioxidant source and should be included as part of a healthy diet.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson, RD, LN
