Do you avoid eating onions or garlic?

I was told and checked that there are people (mainly vegetarians) who avoid onions and garlic because they have the effect of 'aphrodisiac'.

To me, it's not a bad thing and vegetables are vegetables.
Besides, they were expressing like it's a bad thing.

To me, it is not a bad thing and good in many ways...but I don't go crazy on them.

I know a lot of vegetarians and they used garlic in everything and they will tell you all the health benefits from eating garlic everyday
This particular group live up past 100 and still drive cars and work

I don't know about the onions ,but I do know they eat a lot of garlic

There is also a proper diet as to which vegetables you need to eat together for proper nutrition
I know one man who developed heart problems from to much iron and another that needed transfusions daily because he didn't have enough
but both of them were in their 90's ,,the one that needed the transfusions passed away ,but he was strong as an ox ,,96
They both began to caution others about knowing the proper amounts of vegetables to eat daily (both of them never ate meat in their lives )
The one that passed said he would have made it to 100 had he only been wiser about which vegetables he ate and the proper amounts ,he was a mess ,we miss him

Probably it's the source of why they're vegetarians.
I mean the people I talked to who are vegetarians...their reasons for avoiding garlic and onions always stem from spiritual-related stuff.
Those I know (vegetarians who consume garlic and onions) don't have such reasoning/belief.
