Inhibiting Platelet Activation with Garlic and Onions

Why we should wait 10 minutes after chopping or crushing garlic before cooking unless we’re going in for elective surgery within the next week?

I always wish Dr. Greger would SUM UP at the end of his videos with just a siimple: "here's what you do - eat garlic raw, or crush it 10 min prior to cooking. Eat onions raw,

Gotta remember that trick to crush and wait! Thanks for your work! Loved How Not To Die. A fantastic read and I'm now following along with the Daily Dozen checklist app.

I lacto-ferment garlic and onions and eat them on a daily basis, due to a study I read about the benefits of fermented garlic, I take one a day. very informative thanks as always!

So the take aways from this video is to eat garlic and onion raw rather than cooked (which is essentially the only way I currently consume both today)? Or I can add some of the minced garlic juice back into my soup? Are those correct? Yikes. I guess I will be making garlic hummus more often going forward...and carrying toothbrush and toothpaste with me everywhere I go.

As a trained cook, I am so relieved that I've been doing it right all along. I think? . . . thanks for posting, Doc.

Not sure if all garlic lovers know this, but I hate peeling the skin off garlic, learned on you tube, put garlic bulbs in a pot, cover with lid and shake like crazy, all garlic peeled and separated!!!  also, I chop chop or grind in coffee grinder, put in jar, cover with olive oil and refrigerate.. at my fingertips!! love it. the oil preserves the garlic.

Just bought his book How Not To Die. Really Really Great book to read. I highly recommend you read it.

Did the study on arterial stiffness include those on a whole plant food based diets? Does a whole plant food based diet reduce the risk of arterial stiffness and negate the need for the benefits of garlic?

Hey, you know what..

I tried making roast garlic crushed with olive oil. It was very mild. I then added a little raw garlic and it became really strong!

[quarteracreadventures]

So would buying the pre-chopped garlic in the jar be best if you like to cook your garlic? You wouldn't have to chop it and then set a timer to get the benefits...

Please do a video about seborrhoeic dermatitis! I appreciate you and your content a lot!

[extremeAdvil]

Confusing but he put summary in description for those also confused.

[Hangfire]

So is my understanding correct? Cooking garlic and onions diminishes or negates any and all benefits of either? Or is it just the anti-platelet activity that affects blood clotting?

Hello,
Thank You soooo much for Your videos!!! LOVE Your channel!
Could You please make a video about fermented foods and about a water kefir (made with water kefir grains). Thanks You!!!

[ToSleepToDream]

do you have a video on nutrient retention with microwave cooking?

[lawrencelawrence]

To reduce garlic breath I eat popcorn after. The dryness and abrasion of the popcorn collects the garlic juices that line the mouth.

Dr. Gregor. If you discovered that an animal products had some health benefit would you make a video about it?

Garlic is potent stuff. Put some in my bread mix and it killed off the yeast.
