Reduced Risk of Blood Clots;
We need our blood to clot around the site of an injury, but clots that form within veins or arteries block blood flow and can be deadly. Onions contain a compound called rutin that has been found to ward off the development of clots in thrombotic mice. (Thrombus is the technical term for clot).
Interestingly, clots that form in arteries are rich in platelets, while those that form in veins are high in fibrin. Rutin appears to be able to attack both types of clot. More human studies are necessary, but rutin may one day soon be used to create inexpensive medicine for blood clots. In the meantime, keep eating those onions.
