Re: Eating garlic & onion dissolves cholesterol stones in mice

Actually, garlic was less antilithogenic ("stone dissolving") than onion. That was shown in another study by the same team. I'll post it when I have more time.

If I remember correctly, from most to least antilithogenic was:

1. Heated onion
2. Raw onion
3. Heated garlic
4. Raw garlic

But raw garlic is good in many other ways, of course. And raw garlic was still much better than nothing.

I now eat a variety of the above. Tweet
