I want to warn everyone to never use garlic powder or garlic salt. It is the #1 cause of indigestion. It's a very popular ingredient in so many prepared foods, I can't even begin to provide you a list.
Why avoid this kind of garlic? Garlic oil is extremely volatile and it goes bad very quickly when exposed to air, becoming a stomach irritant instead of a digestive aid. It causes the famous "acid reflux" that many people endure, especially those of us who are older.
Having worked in restaurants I can tell you that they buy their garlic powder in huge tins that stay open for as long as a year or more before they're used up. This allows the powder to react and transform into a nightmare food.
Imagine the huge industrial food producers who put tons of garlic powder into everything from potato chips to sausages to frozen foods.
Most people don't understand why they get acid indigestion, but this simple rule of avoiding powdered garlic will make a huge difference to those who suffer this malady.
There's no reason to take all those drugs to suppress acid reflux once you've stopped taking garlic powder in your diet. IT PAYS READ THOSE LABELS! If you don't, well you deserve what you get.
