Did you know that the regular consumption of onions, like garlic has been shown to help lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels in the body , studies have also found that consuming onions regularly, can significantly reduce the risk of developing colon cancer attributed to the high levels of quertin found in onions. A study recently published in the Clinical Gasteroenterology and Hepatology found that quertin found in onions can reduce both the size and number of precancerous lesions in the human intestinal tract. If that isn't enough onions are anti-bacterial and anti inflammatory... they sure do pack quite a punch, and a tear to the eye.
In order to reduce the tears, try chilling the onion for half an hour in the fridge, this slows the activity of the enzyme responsible for the eye irritation.....
