Daniel Barone from the Oncology Research Center Mercogliano in Italy has published an extensive study on the impact of tomatoes on stomach cancer (stomach cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the world). Based on over 800 cases, he proved that tomatoes significantly slow down cancer, inhibit cell development, and enhance the effect of conventional treatment. Barone also adds that tomatoes cannot cure the disease, but their influence is invaluable, as fighting cancer is mostly a race against time.

Medicine has long known the effects of lycopene and carotenoids (both responsible for the red color), but Barone adds that it is not just about these substances, but the combination of all elements in tomatoes is crucial. Additionally, we must not forget that tomatoes are classified as fruit and should never be mixed with carbohydrates. Not only does this cause weight gain, but also leads to stomach damage, worsening the condition of the disease.

Furthermore, nutritionists warn that only fresh tomatoes are healthy. Various sauces and canned tomatoes are just a pale imitation of the original. Many also advise against consuming industrially produced tomato sauces when you can easily make your own (see HERE).

If you combine tomatoes with oregano (Mediterranean Miracle Against Cancer, Candida, Respiratory Diseases, Warts), the effect of tomatoes can be even higher.

Tomatoes also work preventively, so take advantage of the opportunity while it is still in season. Check out the article Homemade Ketchup is also a Remedy.
