Our bodies are our temples, but how much do any of us really know about how they work? The truth is, we don’t have time to study our body’s chemistry and biology to figure it out. That’s where Anna Jiminez comes in.
Anna is an investigator for the beauty products market. She considers it her mission in life to determine what goes into cosmetics and to work out which ones are doing us harm.
She recently spent some time with the Editor-In-Chief of Chalkboard magazine, Suzanne Hall, to walk through her findings and to offer tips on taking better care of yourself.
Suzanne Blew Anna’s Mind
Suzanne turned out to be a goldmine of information for Anna. She was happy to share a treasure trove of beauty industry inside secrets, but one thing in particular really blew Anna’s mind.
You need to skip ahead to the 2:30 mark, but there you’ll see Suzanne explaining to Anna that your body is incredibly sensitive to certain things and that if you rub garlic on your feet then you’ll be able to taste it within seconds.

Anna Put It To The Test
There was no way that an investigative reporter was going to leave that claim untested so, Anna jumped right in “feet first.” She put the recording on hold, found some garlic and gave her feet a gentle rub with it and she reports that Suzanne is absolutely right!
We’d politely suggest that this is because garlic is particularly pungent and that the scent gives you the “taste” of things (because most of what we taste is actually smell not flavor) and not because garlic is carried through your skin via your bloodstream to your mouth.
But we’ll let you decide.
