Raw Garlic Consumption can Cut Lung Cancer Risk in (Nearly) Half
A new study out of China has remarkable findings in regards to lung cancer prevention. Lung cancer was responsible for the deaths of 158,081 people in the U.S. in 2009, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Prevention, above treatment, is crucial as more people die from this type of cancer in the U.S. than any other type. The latest research indicates something as simple and readily available as garlic could play a big role in reducing our risk for developing the deadly disease.
According to the study published in Cancer Prevention Research, people who consume raw garlic as a regular part of their diet were 44% less likely to suffer from lung cancer.
The research relied on data from 1,424 lung cancer patients and 4,500 healthy adults. Researchers with the Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control surveyed the participants on their diet and lifestyle habits, including garlic consumption and whether or not they were smokers—a known-contributor to lung cancer risk.
