Maybe vampires are actually after cholesterol and not blood! Garlic has been shown to affect blood fats. If you have problems with cholesterol, try garlic. Regular garlic supplements can lower total and LDL (the really bad stuff) cholesterols by 10-15%. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have an effect on raising the “good” HDL or on lowering triglycerides.
Ancient physicians recommended garlic to “cleanse the arteries” long before the actual purpose of arteries was discovered. Turns out the ancients were correct!
