Answers
Explanation:
Peeling onions makes me cry (as much as I often do when I watch a heart-tugging movie) it’s certainly not a peel-good veggie for me. But here’s something that makes me feel really good about onions. Did you know that you could lower your risk of the dreaded Big C by eating onions? Studies show that people who eat more onions, as well as other allium vegetables (this lowly underground bulb is a member of the Allium genus), have a lower risk of many types of cancer, such as breast, ovarian and endometrial, prostate, colorectal and gastric, esophageal and laryngeal, and renal cell.
Lumped together with superfoods such as garlic, leeks, and chives, onions are rich in anti-cancer compounds which, experts say, “have been shown to decrease cancer tumor initiation as well as inhibit the proliferation of cultured ovarian, breast, and colon cancer cells.†The National Onion Association reports that onions are considered a dietary anti-carcinogen.
Superstars in their own right, onions are loaded with more polyphenols (quercetin or flavonoids known for their disease-preventing, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties) than garlic, leeks, even tomatoes, carrots, and red bell peppers
