Q: I eat 2-3 cardamoms everyday. Does this have any ill-effects in any way or is it beneficial?

A:In ancient China, the Emperor ordered that the stinking breath of those around him could be counteracted by having them chew cardamom. The regime flourished and presumably the same considerations apply to obsessive or considerate cardamom users of today.
