Here are some answers from Wikians. Add yours if you wish, but please do not take down what has been posted.

• I think like a clove or two a day is fine. That's what I take. sometimes I have a day on and then a day off garlic cloves.
• Depends on your health and your taste buds.

Answer 3

Not any more than too much of anything else. It's not advisable from a purely social standpoint to eat too much, because you will smell like garlic, but garlic itself is just a vegetable.

Eating too much of anything can cause you to be sick, and garlic does contain oils which can give you diarrhea if you eat too much of it, but I'm thinking "too much" is on the line of "a bucketful." Also, keep in mind, some people do have garlic Allergies.

Also, contrary to what the previous commenter might think, "smell" is not an ingredient and is not harmful.
