Garlic can help protect against cancer

Mar.17, 2010

According to a new study conducted by American scientists, garlic can slow down and prevent the formation of carcinogens.
A high amount of garlic in the diet can slow the process of nitrosation in the body. Due to these processes some of the substances contained in food are converted into carcinogens. In most cases nitrosation is frequently associated with the consumption of nitrates, which can be found in meat, sometimes in some vegetables, fruits, as well as contaminated by agricultural or industrial waste water.
