The closer you can eat your meats and eggs to raw, the better they are for you - provided they've been handled sanitarily, of course. This is true on multiple counts.
The first is that the more you cook anything, the more you burn, boil, or braise away the healthy nutrients. The second is apparently this: Cooking eggs and meat at high temperatures (overcooking, in other words), produces a chemical compound called PhIP, which many believe can cause DNA changes or metabolize common, harmless bodily enzymes into carcinogens - especially those that cause breast cancer.
Now here's the interesting garlic-cure part: A component of ordinary garlic called DAS (diallyl sulfate) has been proven to inhibit these killer PhIP enzymes. A team of scientists at Florida A&M University infused human breast epithelial cells with both DAS and PhIP. At every stage of study in the test, the PhIP did indeed increase the _expression of the suspected cancer-causing enzyme - at times up to 40-fold. But the added DAS completely prevented the enzyme from becoming carcinogenic by triggering a genetic alteration in the enzyme that renders it harmless...
The results of the study were presented at a recent American Association for Cancer Research meeting in Baltimore, Maryland.

That is amazing! Thank you for the information, I guess I will keep up with those garlic supplements, though no matter what kind I have taken they still give me garlic breath and burps, ewwww, guess it is worth it in the long run!

LOL....luckily my wife likes garlic as much as I do!
I am a fan of Michael Savage also, and besides his being a political style talk show host, he has a masters in nutrition, has wrote books on nutrition long before it was "fashionable", been to islands observing lifestyles, out looking for new natural cures, etc.
Anyway, he has been promoting garlic as a health asset to longevity for many years.
The research on garlic actually dates back thousands of years.
