Garlic and all its constituents are GRAS according to the USDA. a pH of 3.3 is nowhere near damaging for the GI tract.
I don't love garlic, but those claims... need some serious evidence behind them!

Good point my evidence is from anecdotal sources and im no doctor. I suggest people do their research on it and make up their own mind rather than listen to me. Sorry if you love garlic im just a messenger.
Nah, I think it tastes terrible to be honest aha, but I saw your intro post tonight (welcome!), most us (aggressively) ask for good evidence behind bold claims here!
I was going to post some links but this is something that if you care enough you should do your own research and basically my comments are inline with the akaline diet. If you dont think trying to eat more akaline foods is good that is your call, but in general akaline foods are better for you and acidic foods are not. Garlic is a classic case of not being a great idea. Its so acidic that it clears your arteries and lowers blood pressure but if it can disolve junk in your arteries its perhaps disolving things that it shouldn't. If you want some links here are a couple. But in the end you have to make up your own mind.

Hi @jackson - would you mind posting the medical study showing garlic destroys your arteries. I would like to read it as I have never heard that before.
thanks,

I looked over those links and didn't see anything on destroying your arteries. Maybe I missed it as I am reading fast.
alkaline diet is quackery.
