It's the opposite.. fresh garlic blocks the effects of carcinogens.

It's just garlic in oil or butter mixes, and it's botulism poisoning not cancer....
If the garlic is not in an oil/butter mix it's ok. It's just that some mixes were spoiling because people were not refrigerating them.
"FDA has been receiving inquiries about proper storage of homemade and commercially prepared chopped garlic-in-oil, garlic-in-butter and garlic-in-margarine mixes. FDA is warning consumers that such mixes, especially those prepared fresh at home, should be kept refrigerated. Left at room temperature, the mixes may cause potentially fatal botulism food poisoning."
They really do say something is great one week and terrible for you the next week though.

lol. Mediterraneans eat garlic, yet have some of the lowest cancer rates in the world. Better check your sources.

If that was true a large portion of the world's population would be dead already from cancer. I think you need to reread that article very carefully.

Is it possible to quote your source? I would like to read that.
Garlic has always been used as a preventative for many diseases, including cancer.
It's possible there's new findings that show the opposite, look how long eggs were considered "bad" for you, now they say they are safe......

I think you need to check your news source cause that's obivously not true.
I also went to the times website and there is no article stating that.
