Garlic

We all know how good it is for us but what is it exactly that causes the bad breath?

Is it something that if we used it on a daily basis the smell would reduce or even go away completely?

dont think so, lots of garlic used here and they all still stink of it, just that if you take it too you dont notice it on others

either that or dont stand too close

must be the accid in it..........i normally cut a slice of lemon and suck on it, sqweeze some juice on my hand and wash like that........leave for a bit then wash with soap and it seems to get rid of it, or at least the worst...after i been cooking

Right I might try that tomorow...eat a clove and then suck on a lemon and see if that helps

I have heard that parsley i suppose to help but wer aint got any growing in the yard yet.....

I watched something a few months back which said to get the benefits from garlic you need to peal and crush them and leave for ten mins before adding to food or eating them. Something to do with a chemical reaction. They also showed a 3 month study of two men in there 50s with clogged arteries and after 3 months of eating garlic this way they had a massive improvement.

I grow my own garlic and used to put it in my eggs in the morning until everyone around me told me how bad i smelt, i tried everything to stop the smell nothing worked (apart from a bath )
