A friend recently sent me an article that indicated that onions protected farmers from the flu many years ago.
Attached to that article was another article that indicated that onions spoil easily and can be the cause of food poisoning.
The first is false. The second is partially false.
The fact is that slices of onions sitting in the middle of a room do not protect us from the flu, unless you eat them and you sit in the middle of the room.
This is true for various reasons, the biggest of which is that nobody will want to come near you if you eat a whole onion. People who could be carrying the flu will avoid you.
The fact is, supplementation with NAC and vitamin D have been found to help prevent the flu…In Scientific Studies.
Go to The Swine Flu Section of GlutathioneDiseaseCure.com to learn more about these studies.
More on the onion and mayo urban legends….
The Onion Wives Tale is not true.
The onion spoilage one is partially true.
The biggest danger is potatoes that get black from being at room temperature and in the air. They can make you really sick.
Second, mayo that is home made does have a risk of causing illness, even if it is refrigerated.
All foods that are left in the open air and at room temperature can spoil or eventually cause health problems.
Generally speaking, science seems to favor the idea that a tuna sandwich can survive from your making it in the morning till your eating it at lunch, even if it is not refrigerated.
Food providers are not allowed the same latitude that we use in our own food production.
Good Health to you and yours.
