I love broccoli and garlic, but I am disappointed that my favorite tomato is not in top five, but maybe it gets a chance in a post about top fruits.
ReplyDeleteDo not get disappointed I had no chance to list all vegs. But here is a little info about it: Tomatos have very low calories and are dense with anti-cancer compounds that help neutralize the free radicals in our body. Ripe red tomatoes contain lycopene that has been shown to be extremely protective against cancers of the breast, colon, lung, skin and prostate.
