This is where it’s important to separate facts from myths.
Current scientific evidence does not support the claim that any drink can “clean,” “flush,” or “unclog” arteries.
Atherosclerotic plaque cannot simply be dissolved by consuming garlic, lemon, or other natural ingredients.
However, these foods may help support cardiovascular health by improving certain risk factors, including:
- Healthy cholesterol balance
- Blood vessel function
- Oxidative stress
- Inflammation
These effects tend to be modest and occur as part of an overall healthy dietary pattern—not from a single drink.
