    Onion's anti-cancer effect comes from its rich selenium and quercetin. Selenium is an antioxidant that can stimulate the body's immune response, thereby inhibiting the division and growth of cancer cells, while also reducing the toxicity of carcinogens. Quercetin can inhibit cancer cell activity and prevent cancer cell growth. A survey showed that people who often eat onions have a 25% less chance of getting stomach cancer than people who don’t eat them, and 30% less people die from stomach cancer.
