      >These high-lycopene tomatoes used to make the juice were developed by study co-author David Francis, an Ohio State expert in tomato breeding and genetics.

      ahh, so dont just go wild on tomatoes.

      Lycopene sounds like a chemical developed by scientists in a world of werewolves.

      Sounds like there’s a load of glutamine in that diet in addition to the flavonoids. Could that be the active component?

      Uhhh autumn olive berries are loaded with lycopene and has been used as filler vegetation across West Virginias reclaimed mountain top coal mines. I’ve not done more research into this lycopene fact, but I wonder if there’s a legit harvest opportunity with some benefit there.

      Edit: apparently I omitted important context for the harvesting. This is one of the most invasive plants in WV, it’s literally everywhere, gives kudzu quite the run for its money.

      What is soy juice? Is it juice from the vegetative growth of the soy plant or soy milk?

      Sounds ghastly. But I guess people eat and drink worse things in the name of health

      It’s worth highlighting that this was a study of only 12 people, so it’s a bit premature to go gorging yourselves on some facsimile of the juice they’re describing.

      Isn’t tomato inflammatory to the gut? I remember reading it causes GERD.

      You’ll forgive me if I continue to eat those two things separately as  they taste better separately to me.
