THE PEEL OF THE ONION IS A BIOEVOLUTIONARY MARVEL: LET'S OBSERVE LIFE DESIRED OF ITSELF!

Researchers from the Antioxidant Laboratory, belonging to the Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology of the University of Chile, have found a vein of resources for good living, which require as an investment, the usual one with which we resolve our days, when buying our food, thanks to our declining or prosperous livelihoods.

THE MOST POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT IS IN THE SKIN OF THE ONION

Fuente: UNIVERSIDAD DE CHILE

In that Institute they have discovered in the skin of the onion a molecule whose ANTIOXIDANT and ANTI-INFLAMMATORY potency exceeds what has been known up to now.
The onion is nothing more than an embryo of a future plant. It stays alive, it is always biochemically active. And inside it there is a pigment (a flavonoid, quercetin) which is metabolized (transformed) producing a new substance - WHICH ONLY ACCUMULATES IN THE SKIN OF THE ONION. This new compound produced and accumulated in its shell, (benzofuranone, BZF') is a thousand times more powerful than the quercetin contained within the onion; this new compound, I reiterate, only accumulates in its thin outer skin - which, normally, we have always discarded - Well, we throw it away! ; And now it is discovered that the dry skin, the peel of the onion, is gold powder for our health!!!
This study states that

"...its antioxidant and ANTI-INFLAMMATORY potential was demonstrated 'IN VITRO' with cells from the human intestinal epithelium, as well as 'IN VIVO' in the intestinal mucosa of rats subjected to intense oxidative stress... Said molecule, benzofuranone BZF, acts on two levels: on the one hand, by activating the antioxidant expression factor Nrf2, and on the other, by inhibiting the activation of the pro-inflammatory factor NF-kB".

The study was published on October 12, 2021, as the culmination of research that began four years earlier.

And it makes me wonder... the properties that so many plants contain are so portentous that it becomes imperative, for all humanity, to avoid their extinctions and the loss of their habitats. In the same way, the pharmaceutical industry has been developed, fundamentally, for a little over a hundred years and today it produces innumerable drugs that benefit millions of human beings in all the countries of the world. We can also say that for centuries and millennia the human being turned to natural plants to heal and a small part of that knowledge can be probed on the WORLD WIDE WEB; but, always consult - previously - with your doctor; please be responsible with yourself.
