Why should you eat more tomatoes?
Scientists have discovered that a chemical called lycopene which makes tomatoes red is known to break down fatty deposits in the arteries. A pill containing this lycopene boosted blood flow and improved the lining of vessels in patients with pre—existing heart conditions. It could not only limit the damage caused by heart disease but also benefit those with arthritis, diabetes and even slow the progress of cancer.
