Once again the Mediterranean Diet gets credited as being beneficial for your health as the BBC report that taking a tomato pill a day could help keep heart disease at bay.
The trial, which tested the tomato pill versus a dummy drug in 72 adults, found it improved the functioning of blood vessels.
The pill contains lycopene, a natural antioxidant that also gives tomatoes their colour.
Experts have suspected for some time that lycopene might be good for avoiding illnesses, including certain cancers and cardiovascular disease.
There is some evidence that eating a Mediterranean-style diet, which is rich in tomatoes (as well as other fruit and vegetables and olive oil), is beneficial for health.
Have these people actually seen todays Mediterranean Diet, high in Read Meat, Alcohol, Salt, Fried Fish, White Bread etc etc!
