Am I addicted to garlic????

I know I always love garlic ! Recently, my garlic intake's getting increased. I need to have 2(large) cloves of garlic at least for my dinner. I love garlic in any form. Roasted garlic is really sweet and makes nice risotto or soup also pasta sauce. Thinly sliced and fried really slowly to make them really crunchy, oh, it's yummy as rice topping, or stir(steam) fry dishes as garnish with coriander. But classic use of garlic for me is raw and grated. I remember when I was a child, I used to love grated garlic with my sashimi dipped in soy sauce. To finish the dish, I put soy and grated garlic mix on to my hot sticky (Japanese) rice. That was divine. I'm not sure If it's becoming a part of my "back-to-the-source", I have now really started missing it. I grate garlic and mix into my raw pasta sauce, make garlicky vegan pesto for my salads, garnish for risotto, baked sweet potato etc....I just can't get enough of it. Anyhow, raw grated garlic is good for you. Yes, I did my little research☺This is what I found out:

Garlic is anti-oxidants, anti-fungus and anti-bacterial, decrease blood vassal stiffness, and reduce blood pressure! (My mum need to eat lots of it!!!!), and helps to reduce the overall risk of coronary diseases. When garlic is chopped or grated(crushed), it produces allicin which is major component of garlic. Cooking garlic is apparently as not good as when eaten raw(grated, finely chopped or crushed). O.k, it's not as nutrient as raw but taste good. I use both! Because I'm greedy!☺I love my food to have different texture and taste. Anything in moderation, as long as I don't overdose(easily done), garlic is good for my health. Therefore, being addicted to garlic isn't such a bad thing, in this world, we get addicted to all sorts of things. Marilyn told me Anna-Marie was addicted to chili one point. Oh, chili....it's very addictive. Again, in moderation, it's good for you too. Chili burns calories, possibly prevent ulcers, helps to fight cancer and headaches, relieve pain and has capacity to prevent food-borne bacterial disease. Also, stops feeling sluggish digestion and constipation, and many more advantages including chili into every day diet. When I was a school girl, my mum used to tell me to eat some chill to have beautiful smooth skin like Korean ladies and some Chinese people(mainly Cantonese? who take lots of chili in their diet), maybe because of that, I still have nice skin for my age?????❀❀❀ Well, the most important thing is: whatever works for me(and you). I'm quite happy having garlic breath at moment. Just need to be careful not having hangovers from eating too much garlic!!!!
