Consumer interest in new and diverse types of garlic is on the rise. Fueled by factors including the growth of the "local foods" movement, interest in world cuisines, and widespread reports touting its numerous health benefits, demand for high-quality, locally grown garlic is increasing throughout the U.S. http://www.physorg.com/news176486103.html Biology Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:00:01 EST news176486103 Like most invasive plants introduced to the U.S. from Europe and other places, garlic mustard first found it easy to dominate the natives. A new study indicates that eventually, however, its primary weapon - a fungus-killing toxin injected into the soil - becomes less potent. http://www.physorg.com/news171049065.html Biology Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:38:24 EST news171049065 A new study reports what scientists term the first scientific evidence that freshly crushed garlic has more potent heart-healthy effects than dried garlic. Scheduled for the Aug. 12 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, it also challenges the widespread belief that most of garlic's benefits are due to its rich array of antioxidants. Instead, garlic's heart-healthy effects seem to result mainly from hydrogen sulfide, a chemical signaling substance that forms after garlic is cut or crushed and relaxes blood vessels when eaten. http://www.physorg.com/news168086006.html Chemistry Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:39:25 EST news168086006 A Queen's-led team has discovered the reason why garlic is so good for us. http://www.physorg.com/news152541095.html Chemistry Fri, 30 Jan 2009 12:32:08 EST news152541095 (PhysOrg.com) -- A drug based on a chemical found in garlic can treat diabetes types I and II when taken as a tablet, a study in the new Royal Society of Chemistry journal Metallomics says. http://www.physorg.com/news146295856.html Chemistry Wed, 19 Nov 2008 05:44:16 EST news146295856
