Scientists have been working with it to develop new drugs against malaria.In Germany, some scientists studied garlic (大蒜) for four years. They found that it helps prevent the build-up of plaque (血小板) because too much plaque is bad for health. This very common plant continues to be studied.As we know, there are about 250,000 kinds of flowering plants in the world.
