Was it possible, Menon wondered, that onions could cancel out this effect? Menon persuaded the cardiologists at Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle to let him test the idea with 22 volunteer patients...

Another day, the breakfast was enhanced by the addition of 2 oz. of fried onions. And after that, despite the extra fat used in frying, their levels of anticlotting factors rose instead of falling. The other eight patients were tested with boiled onions, with much the same result...
