There was once a difference in classification that a Dwarf was below 4' 10, but above 4'' a Midget being 3'- 4' at maturity. However, certainly in England the terms are seen as inter-changeable. Ironically I am good friends with a genetically short family.
Just an example. A sweet onion is about 7% sugar, in-which about 40% of that is Fructose. A white onion (or any non-sweet type) is about 5% sugar, in-which less than 40% is Fructose. The amount of Fructose you are getting from even a few ounces of onion is minute. This Fructose is also bound with the flesh (Fiber) and other forms of sugar (Sucrose and Glucose).
Further, sulfur compounds in onion can improve red blood cellsâ cell membrane function and lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Quercetin, found in onions, is also known to lower blood pressure, which boosts cardiovascular health. The health benefits of onions are starting to look quite appealing.
