Plant foods in general are good for preventing cancer, most people do not eat enough whole plant foods. Whether onions in particular have any special properties is more controversial.

In the 17th century Nicholas Culpeper noted that "onions and garlic burn the fat that groweth around the heart".... so they knew back then that they were good for you.
