HealthDay reports on new research that confirms the health giving properties of garlic - at least in rats.

The study attempted to induce high blood pressure in the lungs of rats. They found that rats given powered garlic were protected from the high blood pressure. Interestingly, the study confirmed that the effects were only seen in garlic preparations containing allicin.

The researchers acknowledge that results in rats don't necessarily translate to humans - further study is needed.
