Cure for heart disease found in tomatoes? Will FDA demand a prescription? British scientists say that a new pill made from tomatoes may ward off heart disease and stroke. The naturally occurring antioxidant lycopene is said to responsible for the health benefits that block the body from absorbing “bad” LDL cholesterol. This bad cholesterol is primarily responsible for clogging arteries. In its natural form, lycopene gives tomatoes their red color, but is also poorly absorbed by the human body. The product Ateronon will be launched today at the meeting of the British Cardiovascular Society. Early studies say that the new supplement “can reduce the oxidation of harmful fats in the body to almost zero within eight weeks,” according to a report by the BBC. Ateronon provides modified lycopene which is readily used by the body. The modified lycopene compound was originally developed by Swiss food giant Nestle.
The FDA has repeatedly shown that reality has nothing to do with their official policy. The disease “scurvy” is cured by vitamin C. Vitamin D can be found in sunshine. And the breakfast cereal Cheerios is not a drug, even though studies show it can help reduce blood cholesterol levels. New studies are forthcoming to see if the promising results of Ateronon can be consistently replicated and to make sure that no deleterious side effects can be found. It will also give the FDA time to rethink their self-serving and power hungry policies. For more info: It's your life. It's your body. It's your health. Investigate everything!
