They may make people cry, but scientists have finally discovered why red onions are good for the heart after unearthing their health properties.

Researchers proved for the first time how the vegetable's effects can reduce heart disease by retaining "good cholesterol" and removing "bad cholesterol" from the body. Chinese researchers bought a basketful of red onions from their local market and began studying the onions' health properties after feeding them to hamsters.

The 36 male hamsters were randomly divided into three groups and fed a high-cholesterol control diet or the two experimental diets supplemented with either 1 per cent onion powder OP-1 or 5 per cent onion powder OP-5 for a period of 8 weeks. The powder was derived from boiling the onions before filtering and spray-drying the extract.

The team found the groups who were fed the onion-powdered diet saw their levels of "bad cholesterol" low-density lipoprotein or LDL drop, while simultaneously managing to retain high levels of "good cholesterol" high-density lipoprotein or HDL. Was it a logistical issue, or simply unnecessary for a design object? You can close your eyes and imagine it. Perfume is almost impossible to contain, and the sensorial effect can be really misleading and overwhelming. Red lipstick is also in that room.

Is it part of your uniform? I love lipstick, but I wear lipstick of many colors. I felt that the lipstick was a good companion to the pearl necklace. They are both items that can seem at the same time empowering but that can also be about submission. So much of fashion is still binary. Was there any hesitation to include the Fitbit, with wearable tech on the wane? I have to be frank with you: In my curating, I usually love technology, but I never really believed in [the category of] wearable technology.

I never saw great examples of it that were seamless and also fashionable. Topics Metropolitan Museum Of Art.
