2. I've always wondered if garlic

was the reason my grandfather lived to be 97 years old, despite smoking since the age of 11, being an alcoholic and being obese for the middle 60 years of his life. He LOVED garlic. He ate garlic toast -with jam -for breakfast (and so did we, unexpectedly found out on the first bite). Onion and garlic sandwiches for lunch. His specialty was pork chops in foil, with butter and a BULB of garlic chopped up, cooked over a fire. He grew his own garlic and munched on it for snacks. Curiously, he never smelled bad but probably because the cigarette smoke and booze covered it up. In his last 20 years he had many health problems, but cancer was not one of them.
