"The Benefits Of Raw Garlic"

"When garlic is chopped or crushed,this action produces two sulfides,allicin sulfides and diallyl sulfides.These sulfides are what produce all the health benefits of garlic[a healthy immune system].Roasted garlic has no medicinal value because it is whole and it has cooked to a high temperature.Diallyl sulfides will survive cooking,but it's medicinal value is not as high as the allicin sulfides.Cooking chopped garlic will degrade the allicin,and microwaving it will destroy it all together.To get the best health benefits from garlic,chop the garlic or press it into some olive oil and leave it for about 15 minutes.Add it to the meal at the very end of cooking,or even to the plate once it's been served .The smaller the pieces of garlic,the more sulfides produced and the more medicinal value it will have.Also,organic garlic bulbs will have a stronger taste,which means more sulfur content resulting in more medicinal value."
