Some Buddhists don't eat any members of the scallion food group which includes garlic and onion. There are several teachings about garlic in general, I can specifically refer you to a Tibetan Guru Machig Labdron who advises her students that strong garlic will significantly reduce the benefits of meditation. If you take a trawl on the internet you'll find some secular discussions about the effects of garlic on brain function.
