Why does garlic in my diet make me drowsy?

Question

when some people eat garlic they become drowsy me being one of them, can someone explain why. I heard of this in the past it seems to act like the chemical that is naturally found in turkey.

Answer 1

How do you prepare the garlic? It does have an oil.Some say it must be crushed but I cut it up fine and put it in food. My mother used to take it with grape juice.Some people I know cook it by frying or sauteing it before adding it to food.I believe the key is preparation method.
