very little to be garnered = the risk will not be increased?

Context:
Before you hook up your IV to a bottle of gin, though, Hensrud says that alcohol increases blood pressure and triglycerides in the blood, both of which can contribute to heart disease. Drinking can also cause cardiomyopathy (in which the heart doesn't beat properly), though Hensrud says that risk is outweighed by the heart-health benefits noted above.

In the end, "If someone's at very low risk of heart disease anyway," Willett says, "there's very little to be garnered by adding alcohol" to the diet.

Garner means to acquire. In the context of the sentence, it means that there would be negligible medicinal benefits in consuming alcohol.
