In a double-blind placebo-controlled study that followed 152 individuals for 4 years, standardized garlic powder at a dosage of 900 mg daily significantly slowed the development of atherosclerosis as measured by ultrasound.¹

In one study, 432 individuals who had suffered a heart attack were given either garlic oil extract or no treatment over a period of 3 years.² The results showed a significant reduction of second heart attacks and about a 50% reduction in death rate among those taking garlic.

Studies published between 1985 and 1995 found evidence that garlic can lower cholesterol,^3-7

One study followed 47 subjects with an average starting blood pressure of 171/101.⁸ Over a period of 12 weeks, half were treated with 600 mg of garlic powder daily standardized to 1.3% alliin, the other half were given placebo. The results showed a statistically significant drop of 11% in the systolic blood pressure and 13% in the diastolic pressure.

the Iowa Women's Study, a group of 41,837 women were questioned as to their lifestyle habits in 1986, and then followed continuously in subsequent years. At the 4-year follow-up, questionnaires showed that women whose diets included significant quantities of garlic were approximately 30% less likely to develop colon cancer.⁹
