- emnetic, on 06/01/2009, -3/+31There's always a pill for something. Why not just eat tomatoes?
BREAKING NEWS: Fruit and vegetables are good for you. - tommyboy84, on 06/01/2009, -1/+15I consume an awful lot of tomato ketchup. Does that give me a better chance of survival?
- bigpun, on 06/01/2009, -0/+9From what I read, a single pill contains the equivelent to eating 2Kg of tomatos in a single day.
It's pitched as a supplement though, so whilst this is a great pill for those who are less healthy - it still doesn't beat some good old fruit and veg as part of a healthy diet. - GrimReeper, on 06/01/2009, -0/+9RTFA: "lycopene ingested in its natural form is poorly absorbed. " That wasn't so hard was it.
- joeboy70, on 06/01/2009, -0/+8i eat a lot of margherita pizza. i'm wondering if that will help me.
- CrookedFed, on 06/01/2009, -0/+8Why is it surprising that fruits and vegetables are healthy? We have so many health problems in American because we don't eat enough healthy fruits and vegetables.
- Pilot85, on 06/01/2009, -0/+7I end my sentence..
with two dots for some reason..
It's a double stop..
A haiku, for you. - AaronCo, on 06/01/2009, -3/+9Isn't this called "publishing in the press" ??
I mean they've done no clinical studies at all, yet they claim miracles. Come on people, you can't be that stupid. - Gee1004, on 06/01/2009, -0/+6eat more pizza
- giveer, on 06/01/2009, -0/+43 teaspoons *IS* a tablespoon. That would be 100% sugar, which would be some mighty tart ketchup. Ketchup though, can get up to roughly 1/3rd sugar, which is still an awful lot.
- askantik, on 06/01/2009, -0/+4Too bad cavemen didn't have tomatoes... or plant domestication or agriculutre... And they died when they were ~30-35. I think you meant ancient peoples, not primitive peoples.
- TheInformer, on 06/01/2009, -0/+4I agree it's the shiznit, but orange juice without the pulp is basically a sugar drink.
- TheInformer, on 06/01/2009, -0/+3The fiber and water of the tomatoes that you consume is important for your body too, just as eating an orange is better than drinking orange juice.
- HamstaMan, on 06/01/2009, -0/+3Tomorrow on digg: Breaking news, mysterious antioxidants found in red wine prolongs life expectancy.
- kate0spencer, on 06/01/2009, -0/+3I've heard of this lycopene before that is found on tomatoes..
and yes, they are good for the heart..
so eating something with tomatoes, tomato sauce.. is healthy eating.. - lamiaconfitor, on 06/01/2009, -1/+4I learned words and speakings! Me fail English? that's um possiable!
- TheInformer, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2According to the advertising, I thought that Big Macs, Thickburgers, and Tacos were enough. Who would have thought that fresh fruits and vegetables were the way to go.
- borez, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2That's a big ***** pill.
- askantik, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2Eating an orange is better than drinking orange juice-- but orange juice is ***** delicious.
Florida's Natural FTW
http://www.globalpackagegallery.com/main.php?g2_vi ... - oninbonin, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2And in other news, vegetables found to be healthy for you..
- PsychoPNut, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2you forgot a word and 3 letters, or is it 4 letters? hmm...
- borez, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2I like a nice Bloody Mary... does that count?
- inactive, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2I remember one - STRAW.
- antdude, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2Spaghettis too?
- lamiaconfitor, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2its in a pill now! wait...
- GrimReeper, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2FTA: "Lycopene is an antioxidant contained in the skin of tomatoes which gives them their red colour" I guess it depends on if your ketchup uses the skin or not. Also note this from the article "lycopene ingested in its natural form is poorly absorbed."
- painperdu, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2From the article: " . . .lycopene ingested in its natural form is poorly absorbed."
- GraceHead, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2Cue Admiral Akbar ... I've seen "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" You cannot fool me.
- TheMachine1, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15118255
- priegog, on 06/01/2009, -0/+2In theory, sure, but the kind of diet that ussually accompanies ketchup makes me think you'll not be exactly immortal.
- Tearlock, on 06/03/2009, -0/+1Wow. Funny thing is it's already been published for several years now that Artichoke Extract in doses of 500+ mg a day has been clinically proven in double blind studies to be more effective than statins in lowering LDL cholesterol.
- inactive, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1Doh, should of had a V8!
- footodors, on 06/01/2009, -1/+2Lycopene is old news.
what gives? - Idugdigg, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1Did you not read the article????
"lycopene ingested in its natural form is poorly absorbed. "
Why do people just read the headline and not the article? No wonder our country is so ***** up! - DiggEdition, on 06/01/2009, -2/+3a good chance
- TheMachine1, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1I take taurine and there is evidence that it does what they claim in this article about lycopene. It is an antioxidant that will reduce hypochlorous acid (HClO) levels. HClO is what oxidizes LDL cholesterol, triggering deposit on arteries(at locations where some lesion has happened).
- awfl, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1$50-$70US/month and likely that for the patent lifetime.
- seanstuart, on 06/01/2009, -2/+3Wow, if a pill could do that, imagine what a whole tomato can do! Back in caveman times, primitive humans had to actually eat healthy food to thrive. Lucky for us, we have a pill for everything. So much better.
- kate0spencer, on 06/01/2009, -2/+3miracle?
you obviously don't know anything...
it had been proven before.. 3 or 4 years ago..
oh, and do you know that eating tuna is also good for your heart?
it has omega 3.. I think you should do your research.. - riyanray, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1My favorite complimentary for whiskey is tomato salad.. its really good news for me...
- seanstuart, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1Actually what I was ... oh nevermind.
- kate0spencer, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1wow, you really did your research.. lol
or should I say.. did you understand your research?
LDL is not really found in tomatoes.. because it's a BAD cholesterol..
lycopene helps block these bad cholesterol in arteries.. in short, it helps clean the arteries..
that's why eating tomatoes is adviced to everyone.. not only to people with heart problems.
nothing in science is ever proven?
can you hear yourself? lol - JoeParanoid, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1More proof that pizza is health food.
- farcast, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1POP!
- inactive, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1...or just do like everyone else does and eat whole grain food, and cook with olive oil.
- laserdog, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1Indeed, likely the bigger news is that someone has found an economical method of synthesizing it.
- ontain, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1usually they find that the chemicals in purified form in supplement don't work as well as actually eating the fruits and vegetables.
in this case eating tomatoes in the form of pasta sauce greatly improves absorption. - AaronCo, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1Omega 3 is a low density cholesterol, and there's been some clinical studies that go both ways on that, altho most are positive. Lycopene however is not an LDL, it's an "anti-oxidant" found in tomatoes. Well anti-oxidants don't mean anything, your body produces a crapload of them and you get way more than you need... or you'd be dead. Your entire body is a reducing environment. "Anti-oxidant" is a buzzword for "provides no real value but we want you to buy it anyway."
Yet here we have people making insane claims without doing a single clinical study to back their claims up. That's not called science, that's called fantasy land marketing hype. The scientific method requires observable and reproducible evidence. And nothing in science is ever "proven" really, there's just evidence gathered that indicates a certain correlation.
You obviously don't know anything. LOL. - copypastry, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1Caprese salad FTW
