Sort of off topic but this page links to a probably-pseudoscience rabbit hole.

>As far back as the 1950s, it was known that garlic reduced reaction time by two to three times when consumed by pilots taking flight tests.

Does ANYONE know of reference for this? It seemed so bizarre I had to look it up but couldn't see anything obvious.

I fed your question into perplexity.ai [1] and it appears from the resulting response that a youtube video [2] is responsible for this bit of misinformation.
