Garlic, the glorious stinking rose, as it is otherwise known, is part of
the allium genus family and related to the onion. Its medicinal use
dates back to 4,000 B.C., and was used extensively in ancient Egypt,
China and Greece. Used by builders of Cheops Pyramid to boost their
immunity, garlic is currently the best selling herb. Its popularity is
understandable as it imparts flavors to food and promotes many health
benefits--it can reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, prevent cancer,
fight infections and more. According to scientists at the Weizmann
Institute of Science, garlic can also help with weight loss.
