can onions really detox the body
Onions are rich in sulfur-containing compounds that are responsible for their strong odor. Sulfur is a powerful detox element and helps the body to release toxins, especially for the liver. Foods naturally high in sulfur also help the body to detox from heavy metals like lead, arsenic and cadmium.
A study done with people with gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, showed that onions can affect the pressure within your stomach, which forces the sphincter to open, allowing your last meal along with the acidity of your stomach to come back up and burn your sensitive esophagus at the same time.
