Eating Red Onion Destroys Cancer Tumours

A new study has confirmed that eating red onion, a common, vegetable used in cooking around the world, may help to fight cancer.

According to the study, which was presented at the ‘Food Research International’ forum, the tasty vegetable is full of powerful compounds that help to kill tumours.

One type of the red onion known as anthocyanins, which was responsible for its dark colouring, were believed to be inhibiting the spread of the disease.

A flavonoid called quercetin, one of the compounds, had the same effects by shrinking the size of cancerous masses, medical experts had affirmed.

According to Canadian scientists, any type of onion, regardless of its colour, may help to destroy cancer.

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.
