The funniest thing is, once your system is reset, many foods that seem OK cause troubles.
I could eat a lot of onions and garlic in the past. Now, they trouble me a lot.
here you go.
However, I do not like to measure these things. Like other animals, i like to eat and enjoy my food.
My wife enjoyed and _loved_ galic for 30+ years before her IBS kicked in. Garlic is extremely bad for IBS because bacteria gorge themselves and produce a ton of gas, which causes horrible intestinal pain.
A study [0] recommends garlic and onions as key foods to restore a healthy, balanced microbiome.
I have never heard anyone before you claim that garlic or onions will kill bacteria. Rather, they let a specific kind flourish.
... at the expense of others.
Garlic is mentioned exactly once in the study. It is just included with a bunch of other things. Nothing to conclude here.
Garlic is, by no means, a food. Any study that recommends it as food is not a proper study.
Garlic is an extremely potent medicine.
If you're going to make a silly claim that garlic and onions aren't foods you need to back that BS up.
Sorry, what? Onion is one of the oldest cultivated plant and it's consumption exists in nearly every culture, in much "cleaner" times than today. If our guts can adapt to milk, it will have adapted to onion.
Also, you're going to have to show me evidence that the extremely potent medicine has extremely potent effects - what do we currently cure with onion? And please no big pharma arguments - aspirin and penicillin are still wildly available and they come from natural elements.
Potent medicine is what Ayurveda calls it. Garlic is right at the top. Our concept of potent and the way nature works are not compatible. Hence, the diseases.
Try detoxifying your body and then consume garlic to know if it is a medicine or just another food item.
Which toxins?
