Executive Summary
GARLIC CHOLESTEROL-LOWERING STUDY DIETARY LEAD-IN PERIOD RECOMMENDED by consultant Dale Schmeisser, Nutrition Research, during a May 25 presentation at the Rutgers University-sponsored conference, "Designer Foods III: Research Updates on Phytochemicals in Garlic, Soy, and Licorice," held in Washington, D.C. May 23-25. Of the approximately 30 published trials on garlic and cardiovascular benefit Schmeisser reviewed, "virtually none ...made much of an attempt to control diet," he complained. Randomized trials "need to start controlling diet," Schmeisser asserted.
