RE: Garlic: A Survey Into Its Antibacterial Properties
Thanks for the comment @murray64! Personally I do not like such websites. However, they may be a good starting point for your own research (I sometimes use wikipedia to get an overview before I dive into journal articles). Take the claims made, and then use search engines like google scholar or NCBI to see how much evidence there are for them. They are both free to use and open to everybody. I understand that scientific journals sounds scary (I thought that I would not be smart enough to understand them when I started studying), but the abstracts are usually not too technical and should be informative for laymen. With this post I did not try to convince anybody of anything, I just want to show people that scientific work is easily accessible. There are a lot of weird claims out there that people buy because they think that they cannot access scientific work. But it really is accessible. I hope this post encourages people to go and look at scientific evidence. As you can see, science is based on data rather than opinion - I heard many claims that science is controlled by the government and big pharma. If so, why could I find so much science done on the health benefits of garlic?
Sorry for the elaborate answer... Anyways, thank you again for your comment. Have a good day! Cheers!
