A member asked:
How much raw garlic is it safe to take per day, i read too much can cause anemia, thanks?

Safe: It is very unlikely that you will take excessive amount of garlic without "reeking" of garlic. It would be prudent to ask your friends if they can smell garlic on your breath. Taking more garlic than a sufficient amount to flavor your foods is not likely to provide much health effect.
