Wish I could eat them. I keep trying but I'm allergic to them. Break out in hives and swell up like a balloon.

Figures they'd be good for something I might need need. LOL

If the tomato fails with the cancer cure, it looks like radio waves will soon be an excellent treatment. They seem to only fry cancer cells, leaving good cells alone. One guy seems to have cured his blood cancer this way.

What is wrong with you people? Don't you know that tomatoes are evil on Earth? Except in ketchup or blended into some kind of paste. Yech.

I'll keep getting my tomato content the American way. In ketchup.

I have known about this one for a long time. Lycopene is the key cancer fighting ingredient. I believe prostate cancer is the number two highest cancer in men. It would be the first if not for smoking.
