Meetings continue between MAGISNAT and Fondazione Policlinico Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, Rome, Italy, regarding important foods in the Mediterranean diet.

Being composed of polyphenols and flavonoids, garlic has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, cardioprotective, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-obesity, antihypertensive, antibiotic, and antioxidant properties.
