It looks very-very promising so far. There's even a couple studies that suggest that onion juice can prevent DHT production on the scalp, thereby helping to eliminate male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia!!

edit:// onion juice when applied to the scalp, not oral ingestion

This onion juice thing was big on the chans ages ago. Long story short, onions are good for you but drinking heaps of the stuff will just make you smell real bad.

Yeah, that's where I kinda got it from too. I hadn't realized that there were more studies coming out. At the time, onion juicing never made any sense to me because of the perceived taste. Caramelized onions on the other hand, very-very doable.

Is it true it has to be raw or can you cook it?

That's the sparknotes version, it has the included actual study of the proposed 314% increase in testosterone in rats for raw onions.

I haven't found a study for the efficacy on cooked just yet. Even then, let's say a modest 30% increase in test all the while onions being an aromatase inhibitor plus the added values of quercetin, and the other antioxidants it provides.

That's incredibly absurd value for a simple vegetable. That's absolutely without a doubt game changing considering you almost have to climb mountains if you went through the steroid and prescription drugs routes.

I eat a lot of onion, garlic and scallions because they are gud and if you don't add them to ramen you aren't living or have shit taste

This is absolutely game changing.

I wish that I got paid to search databases for “onion” + “testosterone”

Good thing pretty much all my recipes start with "Sautee onion and garlic in olive oil."
