EPIC-Europe is a worthy research institution to tune into - their research is large in scale, and, if I may say so, spectacular.
Check out the references below to see their scientific work in 2023-24.
This is exactly the reason The Angiogenesis Foundation is highlighting their findings on garlic and its effect on cancer:
Garlic has been celebrated for its medicinal properties for over 6,000 years. It's rich in antiangiogenic compounds like allicin and quercetin. These compounds play a crucial role in preventing the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Studies, including the large-scale EPIC study, have shown that a diet high in garlic is associated with a 21% risk reduction for ovarian cancer, and moderate to high consumption can reduce the risk of colorectal, prostate, and ovarian cancers. (Li, 2023)
Dr. Li has been one of our favorites in the food as medicine research field, and we love his approach to health building. Explore Dr. Li's website and read the EPIC studies (in references below).
Enjoy!
Garlic, Organic
