She looks like more of a free spirit than a scientist, so not that she was thinking this, but what I was thinking was that antioxidants tend to bond with toxins and form compounds that are much less easily absorbed by the body. The garlic and olive oil in the recipe could contain the necessary antioxidants to do so. That's why the recipe doesn't make people sick...or at least that is just my guess.
I am browsing the site and will look at the studies she posted. Don't have time right now to finish. I will say that I would never ever base what I eat on a preliminary study. I would wait for more replication by other scientists before I'd change my mind.
