Abstract in brief

  • Consuming tomatoes and lycopene is linked to lower risks of death from all causes, especially heart and stroke-related deaths, according to a large population study.
  • The study found that higher intake of tomatoes and lycopene was associated with healthier profiles and reduced mortality rates, and these effects were not influenced by factors like age or obesity.
  • Inflammation markers like C-reactive protein played a role in moderating the protective effects, suggesting that tomatoes and lycopene may help reduce inflammation and improve heart health.

I love #tomatoes, so I also like our recent data showing favorable effect of tomato and #lycopene intake on total and cause-specific (#CHD/#stroke) #mortality. Is this a reason (one of few probably) that the #Mediterranean diet is so healthy? @ExpertLipid https://t.co/Flw19vCjCb

A higher intake of tomato and lycopene consumption is linked to a lower risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, but mediated by CRP (open access) https://t.co/BOFDNN3Z8t #nutrition #diet #lonevity #CVD

Check out the recent data showing favorable effect of tomato and lycopene intake on total and cause-specific mortality. So amazing to think that cooked tomatoes like that in @Silver_Palate pasta sauces can truly keep us healthier for longer. https://t.co/T9phKYLbOC https://t.co/YbWCKe33pf
