Question 1

are onion rings healthy? if not, are they healthier than french fries?

Accepted Answer

Both bad.: Hate to break it to you, but they're both bad - fried messes. If you're eating fast food, replace these with a side salad for a healthier meal.

Question 2

never had alcohol before. however i ate only 4 beer battered onion rings by mistake during my 7 week pregnancy. i will not touch again but need to know is it ok?

Accepted Answer

: I doubt that minimal level of ethanol exposure reached a blood concentration that would affect a fetus. Most of the alcohol evaporates in the cooking process before the product is consumed.

Question 3

what are the nutrients contained in onions?

Accepted Answer

Several: Onions, the big bulbs, are mostly water, with some carbs, fiber, a few vitamins and minerals, a dab of protein and very little fat (oil). They are very low in calories and add flavor to foods.  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion
 There have been a few small clinical studies that suggest more specific benefits of onions. See

Question 4

what are kayser-fleischer rings?

Accepted Answer

Copper deposits: These occur in wilson's disease and are a ring like deposit of copper which your ophthalmologist can see with the slit lamp during an examination.  They usually do not affect the vision.

Question 5

i have rings/rashes on my butt what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Ring like Rash: Without seeing your rash my first thought is that this is either ring worm or another type of fungal infection.

You will need medication to rid yourself of this.

Question 6

do onion have purines in it?

Accepted Answer

Very little: Onions have very low levels of purines, and are considered a low purine food, and thus safe for gout.

Question 7

raw onion is good for health?

Accepted Answer

Part of healthy diet: It is not inherently any better than other foods.  If you like it eat it.

Question 8

does the hymenal ring affect sex?

Accepted Answer

Hymen: No, it should not affect sex unless it is too thick to break with intercourse or has no hole in it.  That can be corrected with simple surgical manipulation.

Question 9

are raw onions good for breathing?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Hard to tell: The medical literature says that onions may help, may not help, or may make breathing worse. Confusing! it looks like it only makes it worse in people with allergies or if they breathe dried onion dust. Some people claim that onion contains a substance that can dilate (expand) the lung bronchi. But according to my quick calculations, you need 30 onions a day to achieve this effect!

Question 10

am i virgin if i have hymenal ring?

Accepted Answer

No : You are a virgin if you've never had sexual intercourse.
