Garlic Doesn't Lower Cholesterol (Or Not Very Well)

A newly published study, led by Christopher Gardner at Stanford University, has shown that use of garlic is inconclusive at lowering cholesterol. So, if you like the taste of garlic, eat it, and if you want to believe it helps, then go ahead, it won't hurt you, but if you have a cholesterol issue, then don't consider garlic to be medicine.
In addition to being the "Harvard of the West," Stanford has perhaps the finest distance running program in the country. Their teams can beat the best in the country in distance racing.
So, I salute the Cardinal (singular, they are NOT the Cardinals!) for good science and good running.

Note: If you're a vampire you'll naturally avoid garlic too.
