Garlic-rich diet helps fight cancer

Garlic has long been taught as health booster, but it is never been clear why the herb might good for you. Now new research is beginning to unlock the secret of the odoriferous, bulb. In a recent study published in the proceedings of the national academy of science, researchers show that eating garlic appears to boost our natural supply of an organic substance called hydrogen sulphide. In the later study, performed at the university of Alabama at Birmingham, researchers extracted juice from super market garlic and added small amounts to human red blood cells. The cells immediately begins emitting hydrogen sulphide, the scientists found. The power to boost hydrogen sulphide production may help explain why a garlic rich diet appears to protect against various cancers, including breast, prostrate and colon cancer, say the study authors.
