a raw onion a day keeps the doctor (and everyone else) away

[CondoleezzaProtege]

They both give me headache and are also acidic esp. while raw, so regardless of health benefits I avoid when possible. A little bit mixed into things like pasta is fine.

Sauteing doesn’t require 500F temps.

[BenLurkin]

A proper mire poix is made without caramelizing the onions, etc.

But caramelizing them is good as a base for a heartier sauce.

"...sulfur compounds significantly promote heat-induced trans-isomerization of UFAs in vegetable oils..

So, just cook them in butter - problem solved.

Putting pepper on your food will cause it to remain in your kidneys and plug it up - you will die a long, lingering death - alone.

Or so they said, less dramatically, some years back.

I would have been dead years ago. But my big Irish family which has always used onions in every dish and has used garlic for several decades, is still around no cancer, we are all alive and healthy, mom is 90 her five kids are all alive and healthy. My five kids are alive and healthy. Its like they figured out fresh air is bad for you.

NOBODY is going to take away my sauteed alliums. NOBODY!

I guess this is the new fad. Such bullship. Soon we will be down to Soylent Green/

Who is cooking their garlic and onions at high heat?

They are suppose to be cooked in butter which makes them soft and succulent.

[Billthedrill]

The article says they should be OK “under normal cooking conditions” - which at my house are a charcoal grill and a blowtorch.

• Cooking garlic and onions at high heat can form trans fats, study finds [01/02/2025]

[rarestia]

tests were conducted using ingredients (garlic, onion, leek, cabbage, horseradish, and broccoli sprouts) and vegetable oils (soybean and olive oils) to simulate actual cooking processes.

Immediately dismisses everything about this claim. Vegetable oils are seed/rancid oils and are known to be carcinogenic at high heat and extended us; both parameters are true for restaurant cooking oils/fryers, for example.

Alliums have significant, known, and long studied benefits to health. The more likely outcome from this study is that you should be cooking them in butter, tallow, or ghee and NOT any type of plant-based fat.

They’re trying to make everything good for us sound bad.
