Tomatoes may prevent osteoporosis

[Guest guest]

Found this in " Bottom Line Health " this month: (never heard this before)

Besides protecting aginast some tyhpes of cancer, recent research shows

lycopene may also aid in bone formation and prevent bone deterioration. To get

this

bone-protecting effect, eat 10mg lycopene daily. That's the equivalent of one

12-oz glass of tomato juice, or one 12-oz can of tomato sauce, or one medium

to large red tomato.

(per Rao, PhD, ass't prof of medicine U of Toronto and co-director,

calcium research lab, St. 's Hosp in Toronto).

Now, I'm sure she's talking about normies here, and maybe " we " need to do

twice as much, but that seems like a lot of acid to me..............just

thinking

out loud. But a tomato a day, I can handle; and I often take my suppl's w/V8.

Anyone got any info or comments?
