Cancer Prevention Research: Eating raw garlic twice a week could halve the risk of developing lung cancer.

A new study shows that the risk of developing lung cancer can be nearly halved by eating raw garlic twice a week. A study conducted in China found that adults who made eating raw garlic a regular part of their diet were 44% less likely to develop the disease. Researchers found that regardless of whether people smoked or not, garlic still appeared to be about a 30% biggest trigger reduction in lung cancer risks. The researchers said in the research report that "garlic may provide an alternative way of preventing lung cancer."
