People consuming a high intake of garlic, which was not quantified, had 39% less cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx compared to people who had a low intake of garlic according to a 2006 study from Milano, Italy which used data from an integrated network of Italian and Swiss case-control studies.

(Subjects were simply asked if they had a low intake, moderate intake or high intake of garlic.)
