Studies have shown that onions or green onions contain spicy orange oil and produce N-propyl disulfide compound or sulfated propylene, which can reduce red blood cells. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate deaminase in the body makes red blood cells susceptible to oxidation, denaturation and dissolution. After the red blood cells dissolve, hemoglobin is excreted from the urine, turning the urine red. In severe hemolysis, the urine turns red-brown.
