Health Update: Not to be sniffed at
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Researchers at the University of Wolverhampton found that under laboratory conditions garlic can kill and inhibit the growth of some of the common bacteria of the gut associated with food poisoning, including listeria monocytogenes. The precise dose necessary has yet to be worked out, according to General Practitioner: two small cloves a day has been suggested against listeria.
