BBC NEWS | Health | Garlic 'does not cut cholesterol':

"Eating garlic - either raw or as a supplement - does not lower cholesterol levels, a US study has found.

There has been a belief that garlic could help, supported by positive lab and animal studies.

But a comparison of raw garlic and two garlic supplements in Archives of Internal Medicine found none of the three had any effect.

British experts said a healthy diet combined with plenty of exercise was the best way to prevent heart disease."
