According to a study eating raw garlic twice a week could potentially reduce the risk of evolving lung cancer nearly to half.

Lung cancer is the second most general type of cancer in both women and men.

Long-term smoking is the most general cause of lung cancer, found to reckon 9 out of every 10 cases of the disease. Interestingly, when looking peculiarly at participants who smoked, researchers discovered that eating raw garlic still reduced their risk of lung cancer by around 30%.
