"Garlic and onions: Their cancer prevention properties"
"The Allium genus includes garlic, onions, shallots, leeks, and chives ... Allium vegetables and their components
have effects at each stage of carcinogenesis and affect many biological processes that modify cancer risk."
Garlic and onions each day keeps the oncologist away?
Best guess: Real food - not supplements.

Q: What foods improve the human microbiome?
"Based on the search results, here are the key foods that can improve the human microbiome:
Vegetables - Especially leafy greens like spinach, broccoli, and artichokes.
Vegetables are high in fiber which feeds the good bacteria in the gut.
Fruits - Such as apples, berries, bananas, and mangoes.
Fruits contain fiber and polyphenols that nourish the gut microbiome.
Whole grains - Oats, quinoa, and other whole grains are high in prebiotic fiber
that feeds the beneficial gut bacteria.
Nuts and seeds - Almonds, pistachios, and other nuts and seeds are good sources
of fiber and polyphenols for the microbiome.
Fermented foods - Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and other fermented foods
contain live probiotic bacteria that can directly repopulate the gut.
Beans and legumes - High in prebiotic fiber that nourishes gut bacteria.
Garlic - Contains compounds that promote the growth of beneficial gut microbes.
The key is to eat a diverse, plant-based diet rich in these microbiome-supporting foods,
while limiting processed foods, sugar, and alcohol which can harm gut health."
Restated: Good health is very dependent on a robust microbiome.
