3. Sliced Onions Poisonous? Wrong!
When boggling about whether to put a sliced onion in the refrigerator, you recall a popular urban myth about onion: sliced onions are bacteria traps that can be highly poisonous after a single night. Too paranoid about catching a stomach infection or food poisoning, you toss the left-over onions into the trash. That is totally WRONG! This misleading rumor should be debunked, as onions are probably the least ingredient to contaminate bacteria. In fact, the onion's juices are proven to be antimicrobial, which makes them a bacteria fighter rather than an attractor.
