Why should we wait ten minutes after chopping or crushing garlic before we cook it unless we’re going in for elective surgery within the next week?

Allium family is always a nutritional feast.
Red Onion and Spring Onions are loaded with Quercetin, a potent anticancer compound.
Allicin in Garlic is another potent compound for its effective pulmonary function management, the only other that I know of is Arjuna Bark.
Whoever is reading this i wish you a long lasting life, good health and protection. God bless
All crap. Don't smoke, eat a balanced diet. Plenty of exercises. Avoid pollutants and pick your parents very carefully. this is as good as anything. A balanced and holistic approach

What about pickled garlic? I buy pre peeled garlic that tends to get moldy before I finish them all, so when the jar gets to half empty, I add vinegar to prevent mold. The acid rather quickly turns the garlic green/blue. Any idea if I am preserving, killing or not effecting garlic's benefits when I do this??
Stiff arteries may be due to lack of copper. It is in Turkeys.
So it would be optimal to cook my food like usual (with garlic and onion) and then mix in some additional garlic powder and some form of onion afterwards?
Any advice on foods that have a direct impact on the Coronavirus
Someone once said, 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away; an onion a day keeps EVERYONE away!' …which works out GREAT for social distancing! Hahahaa! Anyway, thanks for doing the research and reposting! Stay well, all!!
Thank you!!
I LOVE Garlic, Ginger and Onion.
Buddha said that onions🧅 and garlic 🧄makes you a hot-head, both in mind making you restless☄️and libido🌊. So it is forbidden for the practicing Saints 🧘🏼♂️🙏🏻 to consume it.
Shhhhh, don't tell anyone- the secret to muppets' immortality is raw garlics and beets
What if one can't digest raw garlic? Would it still be healthy? And how does garlic powder compare to raw garlic?
How can I eat raw onion.. sigh.
Garlic and onions of course.
Great video, thank you for sharing!

Nice
Does garlic powder also have those effects ?
Aghhh. What about garlic powder, supplements, etc??
I wonder where black fermented garlic stands? If it would have same effects as raw?
I eat a clove of sliced raw garlic every day. Nice to know it's good for me!
Awesome stuff!
Very informative as always! Thank you, Dr Greger!
Hmmm garlic and onions…
I can confirm even as a young man I had problems with stiffness…
2 cloves of garlic = 1/4 tsp of garlic powder
Merci…!!!
Study man, we the …for the people

So i have to eat garlic and onions raw to utilize its potent effects, preferrably within 10 minutes… When I was in the Philippines, a dipping sauce that is often used is soya sauce, chopped garlic and onion with a bit of chili. Recommend that as a means.. Any more ideas welcome 😉
I just gobble down a whole head of raw garlic.
Most days I chop about 3 or 4 cloves of garlic and eat it raw with kimchi and chickpeas as a side salad with a sandwich. Love garlic 🙂
I take a clove of garlic and an inch of ginger, mince and swallow with acv and 8 oz of water each morning and again at bedtime.
That’s just too scientific. I don’t get it. Just simplify the recommendations and tell me what to do.
Interesting! I had no idea that raw garlic was so much better than cooked. Thank you for the tips 😊
more to show the WHO is not an impartial source of info. FOR SCIENCE! https://youtu.be/lmsqeFAlSGA
@ people in the comments
You don't have to eat raw garlic and onions if you don't like it. It's not as if you don't do it, you suddenly die young 😉
Just eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and other whole foods and you'll be fine. Don't stress about every little detail. It's not going to expand your life that much anymore if you already eat healthy.
The average age that people get to where I live is 82 and those people are actually still quite healthy. They ate way worse then people eating a mostly whole food plants diet.
I want learn more about nutrition and health. I am reader and i already read how not to die. But I want to get more clear and can you please recommend me the book which I start reading to get my nutritional knowledge strong?
I think I'd rather stay to my meat based fiber free food. Especially now, during this covid-19 season. Seems to be much better for my immune system.
Can you do a video on getting rid of mucus in the lungs?? I know you got a long video on pandemics but my friends and family don't wanna watch that 😑
