Not sure about all that, but it can be quite good in cooking.

Goes well with cheese.

If it results in better body odour than thats a bonus

 

[sdifox]

I cook with garlic frequently. I am no chick magnet.

 

[Quintessa]

For health? Yes. For style, no. Doesn't mean I don't like the smell, just don't want to bother even someone around.

It's garlic. It's like the base of everything on the planet that tastes good.

 

[nakedfrog]

I'm pro-garlic in general.

I am absolutely one of those people that will read a recipe, and then double or triple the amount of garlic that it recommends because for whatever reason it's never enough.

Hell I love just roasting a bulb of garlic and either eating the cloves plain or spreading them on some hearty bread and eating them up.

So yeah I love garlic and rarely can I have enough.

I've read "never burn garlic," i.e. don't throw chopped or minced garlic into a hot oiled skillet until there are enough other ingredients to prevent it from burning.

There's a recipe I used to make sometimes, still can and do on occasion that calls for a whole clove of garlic to be tossed into a watery concoction. The point is, the garlic flavor in the process of simmering leaches all the flavor out into the morass. There's no need to chop much less mince the garlic, just toss in the peeled clove(s).

Garlic goes very well with spicy lentil-vegetable soup (cooked in an instant pot or pressure cooker)

Garlic, onion & ginger go well with spicy minced meat curry cooked along with coconut flakes too
