Garlic can prevent cancer
Studies into Allium sativum consumption prove lowered cancer risk

There are countless scientfic studies researching the link between garlic intake and cancer risk.
In fact the available evidence is so voluminous that in the following, we will quote exclusively the results obtained in meta analyses and systematic reviews, i.e. statistical analyses combining the results of multiple scientific studies addressing the same question. In the hierarchy of scientific evidence, these are considered the highest form of knowledge.
Gastrointestinal cancer
An especially large number of cases (>100,000) corroborated garlic's protective effect against gastrointestinal malignancies such as stomach cancer and colorectal cancer (12,558 cases).

Prostate cancer
We also have more than 100,000 "pieces of evidence" for garlic (as well as other allium vegetables) significantly decreasing prostate cancer risk.

Breast cancer
Last but not least, we have equally extensive evidence of garlicexerting protective effects against breast cancer and malignancies of the upper aerodigestive tract.

Addendum by Healing Cancer Naturally
Make sure to use organically grown garlic for a balanced and rich mineral and trace element spectrum (Germanium etc.) and (probably) enhanced potency.
