Garlic "may complement cholesterol reduction therapy"

Garlic supplements may reduce blood pressure as effectively as some drugs, according to a research review. Dr Karin Ried and colleagues at the University of Adelaide, in South Australia, say garlic reduces systolic blood pressure by 4.6 mm Hg, on average, and that effects are similar overall to those of, for example, beta blockers. The results appear in BMC Cardiovascular Disorders.
