However, not everyone is suitable to eat garlic.
Garlic has many outstanding effects in preventing and treating diseases, but not everyone is suitable to eat garlic. Here are some cases where garlic should be avoided:
People with bad breath
Raw garlic contains large amounts of sulfur compounds that cause bad breath, so you need to be careful to use garlic in moderation.
