Raw Onions : I happen to love to eat raw onions - this is common in the south. Read this: http://voices.Yahoo.Com/health-benefits-eating-raw-onions-6315386.Html. Raw onions help lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and a whole lot more. If you can stand to eat them (and your partner understands), keep it up. They are good for you!
