The study included a careful assessment of the dietary habits of over 1,000 subjects along with x-ray analysis of their joints.  The allium family of veggies includes: garlic, onions, scallions, leeks and shallots.  I include this flavorful bunch in my diet daily and enjoy every bite.  (BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders,20010;11[1]).  They are also scientific standouts for cancer protection.
