Question -   What makes your nails grow faster: garlic in clear nail
polish or parsley in clear nail polish? I read it in a magazine.

JD,

Sorry, nothing you can eat -- or apply topically -- will make your fingernails
(or hair or any body part) grow faster. What you read in the magazine is a
scam. The proof: Ask for the record of a detailed, double-blind, peer-reviewed
clinical study that proves the article's assertions. That's the way genuine
science is to be conducted. You will get no response, I am certain.
