Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Reducing carbs may mean missing out on necessary nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which must be part of any sensible diet, especially those obtained from vegetables, grains and fruits.

Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, white onions and spring onions)
The onion family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is insufficient hard medical proof at hand, allyl sulfides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce symptoms with blood circulation, sterilization and diabetes.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so should be included in your weight loss program.
