Once upon a time back in my younger days,while on a L/C diet, I decided to experiment and see if garlic was really a blood thinner by eating several raw cloves and several cloves sauteed with a supper meal. When I awoke the next morning and looked in the mirror the whites of both eyes were a deep blood red. Frightened,I immediately rushed to an optometrist to see if I had gone too far and damaged my eyes. After explaining what I had done,I was advised by the doctor that the blood would gradually drain out of the eyes in a few days and that the normal white color would return and that did in fact happen. I still use garlic both raw and cooked but now am very attentive to limit the amount.
