Is it harmful to eat garlic on an empty stomach?

I watched TV saying that garlic can prevent cancer, so I often eat garlic on an empty stomach. Is this harmful to the body?

    This can easily damage the stomach and form gastritis. Garlic contains a strong spicy allicin. Eating garlic on an empty stomach can cause strong stimulation to the gastric mucosa and intestinal wall, causing gastrointestinal cramps and colic.
