NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Food scientists at Ohio State University

in Columbus have grown a special variety of orange tomatoes... Results

showed that lycopene absorption from the orange tomato sauce was 2.5

times higher than that absorbed from the red tomato sauce... " While

red tomatoes contain far more lycopene than orange tomatoes, most of

it is in a form that the body doesn't absorb well "

Orange tomatoes and red carrots.. what else will they think of? I

don't care what the color if better I heartily embrace it.

Often astounded, however, by the sheer number of people that tell me a

red or green carrot is so at odds with their preconception of how that

particular food should look that they'd never ever even try it!

Although I am fairly sure their misgivings have a psychological basis

I really can't relate to it in any way, shape or form. Unfortunately

such resistance or " phobia " to trying " unusual " food will slow the

introduction of these wonderful products to the market
