This is from CNN:

God love them....while they are missing the boat at least they are kind of directing people towards quasi-healthy foods instead promoting fried Twinkies and lots of Atkins....(big sigh)

I hang out with a cooked food eater and when he puts ketchup on stuff he tells me, " it is healthy!" I don't believe it

You don't have to cook tomatoes to increase lypocene absorbtion, blending them has the same effect (of course that isn't as profitable because tomato puree isn't very marketable).

Also, as the study noted lycopene is fat-soluble, so adding some fat to a dish with tomatos also enhances its absorption.

The same goes for salads in general (eating fat with a salad increases absorbtion of lycopene as well as Vitamin E and other fat soluble nutrients). smiling smiley

I always eat tomatos with olive oil, vinagre, salt and pepper (my standard salad dressing). Does the olive oil count as a fat type substance?
