Garlic Smell 

I have read and heard that garlic is very healthy to eat. I try to add fresh garlic to foods because it adds so much flavor and health benefits, but at the same time I am afraid to use much at all.

Sometimes I notice that people reek of garlic in the mornings from what they ate the night before and I am terribly afraid that I will have that smell about me too when I add garlic to my dishes. So I usually only use one small clove of garlic when I cook, even when the recipe calls for much more.

I always brush my teeth and use mouthwash twice a day, but I am still afraid I will smell like garlic when I cook with it.

How can you be totally sure that you don't reek of garlic when you use it? Are there any tricks to using it to not smell from it?

I think that has more to do with the amount of garlic that is eaten and most likely with their bodies ability to flush out the system.

I agree. I think it has to do with the amount you eat. The more you digest the harder it would be to get rid of the smell. Wife uses breath mints sometimes.

I think so too. Try and avoid using too much garlic in your cooking and as Ken7700 suggests, perhaps use some mints if you do over do it a little.

Some people just can't help it, and even eating a small amount will make them smell. It comes out of your lungs, comes out in your sweat. I only sweat it, stupidly, from one armpit, so I smell lopsided ;)

I have even heard that if you put a clove of garlic in your show, that your breath will smell of it within a few hours.

I don't use much garlic, but I keep seeing chefs on TV using a lot of garlic and I wonder if they know the secret to not smelling of it the next day.

I always use mouthwash and mints, but I can smell garlic on people's breath under breath mints. I hate smelling it and I really would rather not eat garlic than smell like it.

Does no one know if there is a way to fight the smell of garlic?

I heard about this odorless garlic recently and recommended it to my brother-in-law. He uses a lot of garlic and it smells in his perspiration. I'll find out if he likes it as much.
