Garlic and Allicin in the Body: Chemistry, Pressure, Lipids, and Safety
Why fresh garlic, powder, oil, and aged extract are not interchangeable. We explain the formation of allicin, the hydrogen sulfide hypothesis of vascular effects, and human studies on blood pressure, lipids, glucose, immune outcomes, and stomach cancer. We detail bleeding risks, surgery, drug interactions, chemical burns, and storing garlic in oil.
