Genetically-modified purple tomatoes packed with high-level antioxidants may extend the lifespan of cancer pat – Times Now

Sep 28th, 2022

A genetically modified species of Purple Tomatoes, that have anti-cancer qualities, have been approved by the United States Department of Agriculture

Apart from the unique purple colour, purple tomatoes are extremely beneficial for health and have a longer shelf life than red tomatoes.

The tomato, developed by a team of European scientists, purple tomatoes contain higher levels of anthocyanins - an antioxidant compound with the potential to help prevent cardiovascular diseases apart from fighting cancer. They also help reduce inflammation of the cells, keeping them healthy.

Scientists say anthocyanins also slow down the fruit's rotting process and double its shelf life. This antioxidant is also found in abundance in eggplants, blueberries, and blackberries.

Studies were conducted on mice

The team of scientists that developed the tomato conducted studies on mice and found that the purple variety can increase the lifespan of cancer-susceptible mice.

It was after an in-depth reading of other studies on nutrition that I saw this number is incredible. We are yet to specifically test the impact of the purple tomato on humans. However, anthocyanins have been widely studied and shown to protect against various forms of chronic, diet-related, human diseases. We are optimistic that this will be the same result, she added.
