For centuries, onions have been used to reduce inflammation and heal infections. Onions, like apples and other plant sources, contain a powerful polyphenol called quercetin. For years, researchers have known that quercetin supports blood vessel integrity. But now, new research shows that this natural, powerful antioxidant has other health benefits.
- A recent study examined the extent to which quercetin and resveratrol prevented inflammation or insulin resistance in obese, diabetic individuals.
- A powerful compound called quercetin in onions is known to play a significant role in preventing cancer.
