For those whose family complains about the effects of your garlic consumption

Recommended Posts

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.

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 :D

I have about 3 cloves a day. And also take Allicin Max :)
