Garlic Kills Brain Cancer Cells Without Side Effects

Garlic is probably nature's most potent food. It is one of the reasons people who eat the Mediterranean diet live such long healthy lives. Garlic is also a powerful performer in the research lab, including when looking at cancer. Cancer cells have a high metabolism and require much energy for rapid growth. Researchers reported in the journal, Cancer, that that garlic compounds produced reactive oxygen species in brain cancer cells, essentially gorging them to death with activation of multiple death cascades and blocking pathways the proliferation of brain tumors.
