National Garlic Day is observed on April 19, 2015. It celebrates
the "stinking rose" and promotes the many uses of Garlic. Garlic
is widely used around the world for its pungent flavor as a
seasoning or condiment. Garlic cloves are used for consumption
(raw or cooked) or for medicinal purposes.
They have a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens
considerably with cooking. Garlic is a fundamental component in
many or most dishes of various regions.
Garlic has been used as both food and medicine in many
cultures for thousands of years, dating at least as far back as
when the Giza pyramids were built.
Garlic is claimed to help
prevent heart disease and cancer. Animal studies, and some
early research studies in humans, have suggested possible
cardiovascular benefits of garlic.
Garlic is known for causing bad breath (halitosis), as well as
causing sweat to have a pungent "garlicky" smell.
Mouthwash or breath mints are not particularly effective, since the sulfurous
compounds are absorbed into the bloodstream, and exit the
body through the lungs and skin. Studies conducted at Ohio
State University have shown that drinking milk can reduce "garlic
breath".
