An unexpected danger of onions is named

>> 0

Onions are added to many dishes. However, not everyone knows about the possible consequences of its use.

Benefits

Onions contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances that reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and protect against the formation of blood clots, say nutritionists Liss and Tammy Lakatos. 

Too bad

However, according to experts, in some people with a sensitive digestive tract, onions can cause bloating and cramping. “Especially in people with irritable bowel syndrome, onions can cause pain and bloating due to soluble fibers called fructans (oligosaccharides). These fermented carbohydrates are poorly absorbed in the small intestine,” the doctors explained.

It is noted that even in very small quantities onions can cause digestive problems. And although cooked onions are said to be healthier than raw, both types of vegetables can harm the sensitive digestive tract.
