I just had cheese on toast covered in Garlic Puree

I like raw garlic and cheese,but the rest of the family wished I didn't.

Fresh, raw garlic is much better for the digestive system ... starves cancer too.

Garlic makes me sick.

Man u make me sick

Gigolo group hug tomorrow...... think I am busy

Enjoy

No paralympic opening ceremony thread makes me iek

i eat garlic every second day - it has Allacin in it - kills fungi and molds in your digestive system. If you eat raw onions every day it'll kill most parasites. If you think you are free of parasites read up on it. It's very common. especially with pet owners.
garlic also kills bad bacteria. i'm just not taking chances.
Pinapple can paralyze parasites, along with pumpkin seeds.
seeds will cure a bad back - omega oils.

boiling spuds... add a bit of your garlic paste as it boils. nice garlic
potatoes as a change.

garlic is very strong stuff raw. might be harmful. it's debatable.
but i took it for years. still here.just.

some say it cures cancers, some molds are blamed for cancer?
bacteria that gets out of hand etc. Garlic raw very medicinal.

zoz, I don't want want my breath to be any worse than it normally is, so... are garlic tablets any good, iyo? Cheers.

garlic tablets do nothing. allacin only forms as a reaction to the air. you can get a garlic crusher and mash it into a paste. drop it in a glass of water and just drink the water? after 45 minutes.

This might be really beneficial to Candida, a yeast overgrowth in both men and women. This can spring up after taking anti-biotics. the anti-biotics kill the helpful bugs in your gut flora and let the bad bacteria get a hold.

a lot cheaper too.

So the garlic capsules I've taken for the last 25 years have been a waste of time!

Poor kenny!

Thanks for the info, zorro

I often rub raw garlic on toast instead of spreading something on it. Delicious and much healthier.

If garlic does prevent cancer, why does France have the second-highest rate of cancer in the world? (Of course, it is possible that without garlic, they'd come top but ...)

raw garlic - not cooked garlic. France.

colin campbell the cancer researcher tested rats(their gastro tract is super similar to humans) put rats on a diet of 20 percent red meat and dairy and veg. Other rats on just veg. The rats on the Dairy meat diet got cancer and died. The veg rats all lived on. He also tried a year cycle the rats again on dairy meat were switched off dairy meat after the year and put on veg, they recovered.
Campbell found he could turn off and on the cancer at will. Simply by adding dairy and meat to their diets.

Now tell me he was wrong - and keep eating the burgers and milk shakes.

Now tell me he was wrong - and keep eating the burgers and milk shakes.

Ok you are wrong. Very wrong.

Mr Colin Campbell is a strict vegetarian with a biased agenda. His work has widely been debunked as he was more than selective with his interpretation of the data. Additionally the testing itself was fundamentally flawed on a number of levels in order that he could mislead the public and promote his own agenda.

One of Campbell's pivotal arguments in The China Study, repeated in Forks Over Knives, was research showing that rodents administered aflatoxin were more likely to get cancer if they ate high-protein (20%) diets. According to Campbell, the furry little buggers fed low-protein (5%) diets were less likely to develop malignant tumours. The protein in these diets was derived from casein, one of the two main protein fractions of dairy (whey being the other).

Sounds like a pretty damning indictment of high-protein diets, doesn't it? Well, at least if you're dumb enough to overlook the fact that virtually no human derives all his/her protein from casein. And that no human is a rat...physiologically speaking, that is.

And there's one other teeny weeny detail that Campbell conveniently neglected to mention: Of the twenty-two rats fed the low-protein diet, ten died by 6 months while the remainder died between 52 and 104 weeks. In contrast, all thirty rats fed the high protein diet survived for more than 1 year![1]

Oops.

And it doesn't end there.

In the original Indian study that inspired Campbell to adopt his animal protein-hating ways (Important Warning: stay a mile away from any joker whose current dietary beliefs arose from a single "Aha!" moment involving a dodgey study or diet book...) and in Campbell's own experiments, the doses of alflatoxin were absolutely ree-dee-que-less. The rats were administered super-duper-mega-massive doses of aflatoxin, the ingestion of which would literally be impossible in real live humans. Meaning that, regardless of protein intake, the experiments had essentially no real life relevance for us **** sapiens. Except of course, for those capable of eating over 280,000 contaminated peanut butter sandwiches a day for four days straight. Heck, even Elvis in his dying days would have struggled to put away that much peanut butter.

Double oops.

When lower, more realistic doses of aflatoxin were given to monkeys eating either 5% or 20% casein[2], something interesting happened. Something that Campbell would probably prefer we didn't know:

"Monkeys on low protein diet surviving for 90 weeks or more show foci of preneoplastic lesions, whereas those on high protein diet reveal no such alterations at the corresponding time interval...It appears that in the simian model used by us, the liver injury caused by [aflatoxin] is accentuated by simultaneous restriction of dietary protein and in animals on such combined regimen preneoplastic lesions appear around 90 weeks of experiment. These observations suggest a synergism between protein calorie malnutrition and aflatoxin induced hepatocarcinogenesis and may explain the higher incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in certain areas of the world where contamination of foods with aflatoxin and malnutrition are prevalent."

Oops to the power of infinity.

P.S Zorro, you failed to mention that your Vegan hero has links to PETA.

That very honest and widely respected bible of truth

Buy a tin of sardines 30p, put them on a nice seeded brown loaf (toast) with a little butter

Just to update, a grand total of ZERO forumites snogged me today.

Logical Conclusion: All Betfair Chit Chat forum members are vampires.

Charwell must be a farmer with a dairy herd?

Don't know about that but he's probably a vampire.

tin of mackeral, drain the oil and add english mustard.
very nice.

Prefer Herrings and love kippers,sardines good too,like most fish,love sqid,crab,cockles etc a balance diet best daughter and wife both worked in the nhs vegans have other health problems from lack of protein.

Charwell must be a farmer with a dairy herd?

You spout the crap peddled by a PETA supporting vegan who published a widely discredited book (who has admitted to having a personal agenda upon commencing his studies) by virtually every expert in the field; and this is your well thought out and rational response?

Heck, just ignore the facts and deflect it with a truly pathetic comment.

Then stick to science and tell me why the likes of eskimos, who eat a very high meat rich protein diet, suffer no more cancer than largely vegetarian parts of the world.

So as I base my dietary needs on facts and not fabrication I will continue to enjoy the odd burger and milkshake ta very much.

Me too Charwell moderation in every thing but the occasional burger,kfc after all a little bit of what you fancy does you good so my nan use to say.

Eskimos are all borderline hemophiliacs - if they fall down and bruise themselves they can bleed profusely - It's because of the high fish, high omega oil diet.

A scottish doctor did research into blood clotting and ate nothing but seal meat for six weeks. he did a cut test on his arm. a special razor applied cut a certain depth. He timed how long it took to clot. As the six weeks progressed his blood got more fluid and runny until it was very hard to stop the blood flow. This proved his theory about oily fish being good for heart health.

I'm not anti meat - love eating the stuff - could eat in competitions. But I recognize it's not healthy every day. there's a balance. you need b12 from meat. to function.

one or two days a week. oily fish one day a week.

Game and Fowl best meats to eat and venison the healthiest red meat so I'm told,sounds good to me.

Totally don't buy the "garlic tablets do nothing" stuff btw. I think garlic is fantastic for health, and that assertion has to be filed with the Zorrostrikes opinion on how things work, no offence :)

So like you take a bulb of raw garlic, and eat it .. how much air reaction is there twix mouth and armitage shanks? Not much.

Garlic - zorro's opinion? whit...

No - google it - Garlic and Allicin.

It's a reaction between the cut surface and air with the clove.

copy and pasted - Allicin is the major biologically active component of garlic. First reported by Cavallito and Bailey in 1944, allicin is the key ingredient responsible for the broad-spectrum of anti-bacterial activity in garlic. Research also showed that allicin is responsible for lipid-lowering, anti-blood coagulation, anti-hypertension, anti-cancer, antioxidant and anti-microbial effects.

Medicinal Activity in Garlic is best measured by it’s Allicin content Nonetheless, allicin is not found in fresh garlic. The chemistry of garlic is extremely complex. Fresh garlic contains an enzyme called “allinase” and “alliin”, which are contained in different parts of the garlic plant. This unique structure is designed as a defence mechanism against microbial pathogens of the soil. When fungi or other soil pathogens attack the cloves, the membrane of those compartments is destroyed, and within 10 seconds, all the alliin is converted into a new compound called allicin.

recap - in BOLD - warfarin, the anti coagulate is given to patients after a heart attack. Garlic is natural. preventative properties.

JUST checked it on google JUSTCHECKING.
