Larry Johnson Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 My wife often complains that I smell like garlic and onion much of the time. It's probably true, since I eat prodigious amounts of allium, but there may be a solution. Raw apple, lettuce, and mint leaves were found to reduce the volatile compounds associated with garlic breath, including diallyl disulfide, allyl mercaptan, allyl methyl disulfide, and allyl methyl sulfide. Here's a link to the Science Daily article describing the study by the Institute of Food Technologists. I guess I'll try eating an apple/lettuce/mint salad with my garlic, and see if my wife complains about the smell less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Tested this today (garlic + raw apple). Seemed like it worked. My wife pretty much banned me from garlic, I'll see if she can tell ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Interesting... I love garlic and put it in so many things. Now that I work from home, I don't get too many complaints as I did when I worked in an office :DI have about 3 cloves a day. And also take Allicin Max :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
