I don't buy the argument of redistribution due to garlic intake. Garlic is not a chelator. It won't yank out mercury deeply stored in organs. It will help your body's natural detoxification pathways. Garlic is amazing stuff.

The garlic smell doesn't bother me. I don't know why some people make a big deal about it. Perhaps some people are more sensitive to the smell than others? They say that in general on average women tend to have a much better sense of smell than men.
