Flavonoids are substances found in tea, onions, apples, red wine, strawberries, and even chocolate. Their intake is associated with reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
A new study focuses on another substance with antioxidant properties - Quercetin. We can also get it with tea, apples, red wine, says BBC News. It controls chronic inflammatory processes and the development of atherosclerosis.
One of the authors, Paul Krun, says that if we eat even just 100-200 grams of onions, we can get enough of the antioxidant.
