Raw garlic has been used to treat acne and to assist in managing high cholesterol levels. The cholesterol effects have recently been refuted in well controlled scientific studies.
Other research has shown that garlic - especially aged garlic - can have a powerful antioxidant effect, which protect the body against damaging "free radicals".
There are two main medical ingredients which are linked to the proposed garlic health benefits: allicin and diallyl sulphides

Well, it's supposed to keep vampires away so I guess that qualifies as a health benefit.
Then of course if you eat too much of it, no one is going to want to come close enough to you to have sex so you wouldn't have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases so that would be a health benefit too.
