U Today Geoff Watts presents an investigation into the miracle properties of garlic. It's notjustvampires that need to be wary of the pungent bulb. Scientists in Israel have found that garlic has a striking effect on a huge variety of medical conditions ranging from athlete's foot to diabetes and cancer. The ancient Romans and Chinese certainly believed in garlic's healing properties, but is it of any use in today's hospitals and medical centres? Plus a look at the week's top science stories.
