I think we all worry about the smell. People who eat onions or some types of fish also have that smell on their breath.

I use no garlic in my lunch preparations but use it everyday in dinner preparations. I feel that you don't meet so many people after dinner.

Garlic tablets can be taken as medicinal aid and they don't make your breathe smell.

I love garlic. The only problem is that you can't prevent the smell after you eat it. I don't mind, but some people complain about it. :)
