At least that is what the newest study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN) says. In fact, according to the European study slated to appear in next month's issue of...

The Powerful Healing Properties of Onions
Recently, my son came down with a nasty fever and cough. I tried my usual arsenal of herbal remedies and supplements, some of which undoubtedly helped in the interim, but ultimately, if I backed off, the cough returned with a vengeance. Frustrated, and admittedly a little scared by the possibility of H1N1 (something I think is in the back of all our minds now), I resorted to more... (posted by Cynthia 2 years 147 days ago.)
