2 Eat Garlic to Prevent Cancer Eating raw garlic twice a week can cut the risk of lung cancer by 44% Even people who smoke (and are at the highest risk of lung cancer) cut their cancer risk by 30% by eating garlic every day Key compound Allicin Formed when garlic is crushed or chopped (or chewed or digested!) Only fresh garlic contains allicin. There is no allicin in fermented, aged garlic (Kyolic!) Many experts recommend fresh garlic extract for the best benefits for heart health and cancer prevention

3 How Does Garlic Stop Cancer? Blocks the formation of cancer-causing substances Known to stop the formation of nitrosamines, the cancer-causing compounds in processed meats Enhances DNA repair Damaged DNA can lead to cancer Reduces cell proliferation (the increase in number of cancer cells) Induces cell death (causes cancer cells to die)
