How much maximum onion one can eat in day without any side effects?

Onions are Food: Onions are food, not medicine. There would be no 'side effects' to report. I do not believe there is any science on this subject: 'how many onions are too many onions?". Onions are sugar or carbohydrate calories. There is very little of nutritious value in onions.
