Garlic Reduces the Risk of Gastrointestinal Cancers

Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world and fourth most common cause of cancer death. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the world and the second leading cause of cancer death. That’s a lot, so any help is important. Help could come from garlic.

This systematic review and meta-analysis included 20 studies of garlic intake and colorectal cancer. 11 of the studies were on gastric cancer, and 9 were on colorectal cancer.

Garlic intake was associated with a significant 35% reduction in the risk of gastric cancer and a significant 25% reduction in the risk of colorectal cancer.

This study suggests that one way to reduce your risk of gastrointestinal cancers is to increase your intake of garlic.
