Garlic has been used for centuries in traditional cooking and herbal practices. It contains natural compounds, particularly allicin, that have been studied for their potential health benefits. However, viral claims that garlic “kills 14 types of bacteria and 13 infections” or protects against dozens of diseases are overstated and not supported by strong clinical evidence.
Garlic can be part of a healthy diet, but it is not a cure for infections or a substitute for prescribed medications.
