Chemoprevention of aberrant crypt foci in the colon of rats by dietary onion [PDF]
, 2007 Onion intake might reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, according to epidemiology. However, Femia showed in 2003 that diets with a 20% onion intake increase carcinogenesis in rats. We speculated this dose was too high.
