Garlic 'fights malaria'
Compounds in garlic have been shown to be an effective treatment for malaria.
The finding provides yet more evidence that eating the humble bulb is an effective way to ward off a range of diseases.
Research has shown that garlic may tackle heart disease, cancer, the common cold and fungal infections.
The new work was carried out by a team from the University of Toronto.
Researcher Dr Ian Crandall said: "Does eating garlic influence the outcome of malaria? There is evidence that yes, it may."
The compounds, called disulfides, occur naturally in garlic, onions and mahogany trees, and are known to have antifungal, anticancer and antibacterial properties.
