Stuff and Nonesense!!!
STUFF AND NONESENSE I SAY!!!!
I have kept a plastic container of fresh chopped onion in my fridge for use, pretty much all my life.
I have never once gotten sick from it.
Of course, if I have onions chopped, they will get used quickly anyway.
I make pretty much EVERYTHING with onion and garlic and I have never had any problems, and no one has ever gotten sick from my foods made with onions....fresh or prechopped two days ahead.
Even my granny would use onion in almost everything, and I learned most of my cooking traits from her.
Back in medieval times, both onions and garlic were used for "keeping the sickness at bay".
Now we know, with the introduction of high technology, that its the enzymes in these bulbs of goodness that effect/affect what ails you. They either suck them out of the air, or help dwindle them out of your system.
I had a friend who got HIV from a guy he was with, and I told him to start eating all the fresh onion, garlic, and jalapeno he could tolerate on a daily basis. And to also cook with these things as much as possible. The enzymes from these plants/veggies help strengthen your bloods immunity to viruses and flu's, and even colds. No, you wont become immortal, but it will certainly help keep your immune system up and running.
Being from "the south", this is what I was raised with learning about these things.
