One of the most interesting of the recent findings is that garlic increases the overall antioxidant levels of the body.

Diallyl disulfide is an organosulfur compound derived from garlic and a few other genus Allium plants. It is produced during the decomposition of allicin, which is released upon crushing garlic.

diallyl sulfide was as effective as 100 times as much of the antibiotics erythromycin and ciprofloxacin.
