One shouldn't eat garlic bread in the first place...way too many carbs!I love garlic and I eat it ALL the time, and I don't care if anyone else thinks it smells bad.
Just eat a piece of gum or a breath mint after if you're worried.
I know that some people literally sweat garlic out their pores when they eat it, but that doesn't happen to everyone, and you have to eat an awful lot of it for that to happen.
TBH, I only ever noticed that smell on my mother and only after she ate shrimp scampi at her favorite restaurant, but she cooked with garlic (as do I) all the time, and I never smelled that any other time on her, so the restaurant probably used a LOAD of garlic in their food.
Piece of gum or breath mint to combat garlic is like the same suggestion to combat booze-breath. It's coming out of your pores too, not just your mouth.
I love garlic as well, but not on someone's breath or body odor. But then that might be more a personal preference about not mixing intimacy with food. I love sex and food, just not together.
That only happens to some people. Most people don't sweat the garlic out unless they had a real lot of it.
I assumed that would be the case if taking garlic for the health benefit vs some garlic in your food for flavoring.
I think if you just have a little often, it's good. I don't really think there is a need to eat a whole head of garlic in one sitting.
When Popeye ran out of spinach and tried eating everything from the produce section of a supermarket nothing worked like spinach (a very old cartoon hehe.)
