Regular consumption of onions has also been associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer. It is believed that the flavonoid quercetin in onions is the protective factor as it's been shown to stop the growth of tumors in animals and to protect colon cells from the negative effects of some cancer-promoting substances. There’s also evidence that onions may lower the risk of cancer of the brain, esophagus, lung and stomach.
