Tomato Pill 'Beats Heart Disease'


A company had produced a nutritional supplement that contains lycopene from tomatoes that blocks "bad" LD cholesterol.

Trials are underway to test effectiveness. The article implies that this is a modified 'natural' product. If it is truly modified, then I am a bit skeptical. Modified natural products usually lead to unintended consequences and the body's biochemistry may not quite recognize this new substance or know exactly what to do with it.

Let's keep an eye open on these trials and see what shakes out.
