Food Prude Facts
It's Gluten Free and full of vitamins. Tomatoes are one of the healthiest and most beneficial of all fruits and vegetables. Their natural anti-oxidant, Lycopene, is known for staving off cancers and reducing the risk of macular degeneration. Studies are leading scientists to believe that Tomatoes may also reduce the risk of heart disease and high cholesterol, among it's long list of benefits.
Mixing with Olive Oil increases your bodies absorption of the Lycopene, and, because Olive Oil is a 'good fat' it reduces your LDL (bad cholesterol), and increases your HDL (good cholesterol). Olive Oil is also loaded with cancer fighting antioxidants, prevents gallstones, and soothes ulcers.
