Celebrity Diets: Health Benefits of Tomatoes

    I wonder if there is more lycopene in the heirloom varieties or even in the deeper colored tomatoes. I suppose there is no lycopene in green tomatoes.

    What about the benefits of B vitamins? I keeping hearing about how great they are for energy. Read the story in FITNESS about how much energy Josie Maran has (I'm obsessed!) She says her nutritionist told her to take B vitamins in the afternoon.

    JC, yes green tomatoes would have less if any Lyopene and Cooked tomatoes have an enhanced Lyopene result.

    Recent "research" indicates no direct advantage of Lycopepen and cancer inhibition...
    but those are just blatherings of fearful CYA government funded researchers.

    All I know is our family for generation eat and have eaten only FRESH fruits and vegetables.......
    and no "cancers"

    We are of modest means and can't "afford" the high priced processed foods.

    We will continue to eat all the fruits and vegetable we cna produce 365 days a year..
    We sell the surplus for wealth building.
