The archives were the first place I looked. There is some discussion there in reference to garlic, however nothing documented.

Do the same benefits apply to flaxseed or just flaxseed oil?

Have there been any documented cases of Heinz Body Anemia in ferrets and, if so, have any been directly linked to garlic consumption?

I'm finding a lot of speculation but nothing documented, which is what I am looking for.
