Onions have sulphur compunds that can improve memory
Various anti-oxidants have chelating effects on toxins in the body, hence removing them. I beleive the amino acid L-cysteine is the main protien building block that does this. L-cysteine is a sulfur amino acid which is in the sulfhydryl group.
Well, researchers at Hokkaido Tokai University in Japan confirmed that onions which are rich in sulphur could help prevent memory loss and actually stimulate your hippocampus.
Over cooking can destroys the nasty smell but many of the beneficial compounds. So choose your poison so to speak. Stinky smell or toxics in your brain.
