Can drinking tomato-soy juice lower inflammation in adults with obesity?

A recent study led by Jessica Cooperstone found this was possible. Jessica shared that “ultimately we want to have a better understanding of how the foods that we eat are relating to our health. And when we really want to be sure, we need to test them in clinical trials. And that’s what we’re doing here”. In the study fellow co-author, David Francis, developed high-lycopene tomatoes to make the juice (pictured above).
