Does garlic affect the mold growth?

Although garlic contains allicin, a powerful antibiotic and fungicide, that gives garlic a great reputation as a home remedy there are some varieties of mold capable of invading garlic. Common mold infections include penicillium molds and black mold. Such molds render the clove or bulb of garlic unfit for human consumption, as said mold or fungi grow develop a strong resistance to it's antibiotics. Unless you are talking about mold or fungi know to be edible (corn smut, blue cheese mold), just avoid them, regardless of where they grow.


Does high fructose corn syrup increase mold growth?

YES! Mold is used to make hfcs! Read about it on mold recovery.com. Then, once it's in you, it can grow, and it loves sugar to grow. But more importantly, mold shuts down your immune system, overburdens your liver, and throws off your entire endocrine system, which not only causes it to grow more, especially if you're allergic, but also can lead to MS, Alzheimers, fibromyagia, alopecia, Lou Gerich's disease, etc. Btw, sugar in general, but especially hfcs, feeds mold and helps it thrive!
