Purple Tomatoes could Cure Cancer.


A team at the John Innes Center took two genes from a "snapdragon flower" and added it to a tomato plant. It came out to be Purple tomatoes. Well the tomatoes are now rich in an almost anti-cancer antioxidant "Anthocyanin". Anthocyanin has been proven to slow the growth of Colon Cancer, reduce the chance of vision loss, keeping obeisty at bay, and also protect you from Heart Disease. These tomatoes have been tested on Rats and they lived longer then the average age. They are going to at a time test it on humans and this could be the Cure of Cancer.
