Guest guest Posted June 23, 2002 Report Share Posted June 23, 2002 when this was first put to me, it seemed to be the nutritional equivalent of an urban-myth. here goes. a friend of mine was picking my brain about garlic and it's healing qualities over the phone. then she wanted to know if I could explain why is it so dangerous to leave garlic in oil, say overnight in the fridge, as she's been told by two other friends who've attended some well known cookery courses, one in the US the other in France, where they've been given severe warnings against ever consuming a mixture of garlic in oil unless it's absolutely fresh. apparantly if you leave the two together they metamorphose into this lethal poison!!! she's been told about a case in the US where people were taken to hospital or may have even died as a result. so far so mythical... I thought it doesn't make sense scientifically. garlic is a potent antiviral, antifungal, antimicrobial substance and oil, well do I need to go on??? any takes on this bizarre story from anyone?
