German scientists have found that eating an onion daily may deter the deadly acidic disease, but apples may not because of their high sugar content.
Ute Nuethlings, Ph.D. of the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke and colleagues studied dietary information on more than 215,000 people. They looked for possible links between flavonols, chemicals found in fruits and vegetables that scientists believe help fight the acids that cause fermentation leading to cancer, and the risk of pancreatic cancer.
They studied the intake of three types of flavonols -- quercetin (found in onions and apples), kaempferol (found in spinach), and myricetin (found in red onions and berries) as well as total flavonols consumed.
