"Effect of Raw Garlic vs Commercial Garlic Supplements on Plasma Lipid Concentrations in Adults With Moderate Hypercholesterolemia-A Randomized Clinical Trial" Arch Intern Med. 2007;167(4):346-353.
"There were no statistically significant effects on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride levels, or total cholesterol–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio."

Just the opposite, studies have shown that eating half an onion a day can raise your HDL by as much as 30 percent, and garlic has the effect of lowering total cholesterol.
