Onion Breath is Good for You
Talk about your odoriferous foods… I always know when my husband has eaten onions, whether I saw him eat them or not. And although I don’t eat a lot of curry, it’s another of those foods I’d rate as particularly aromatic.
Well, this recent Reuters Health update doesn’t say whether it’s the smelly components that provide the benefit, but it cites the August 2006 edition of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology which reports that consuming curcumin, a compound in the curry spice tumeric, and quercetin, an antioxidant found in onions, helped to shrink pre-cancerous colon polyps.
Go figure… onion breath is good for you
