Isn't it refreshing once in a while to be told that something you like is not merely good for you, but that it could be extremely beneficial for you? Well, the good news is that the humble tomato appears to be just such a food. Ron Levin, a research pharmacist, put his retirement to good use in looking for patterns in the myriad reports into dietary effects on health. He discovered that tomatoes are a major factor in the type of diet that guards best against the development of chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease and even cancer. With Gerard Cheshire, he explains why and how tomatoes offer the prospect of better health, especially to those aged 40 and over, and why processed tomatoes are the best tomatoes of all. Learn of the benefits of introducing into your diet more carotenoids, lycopene, beta-carotene, flavonoids, vitamins C and E, potassium, folic acid and antioxidants, simply by eating more tomatoes!
