If you grow a true tomato, outdoors as Mother Nature intended, you are going to get a product with significant health benefits,” says Tom Deardorff, II.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Though the Mayo Clinic and other studies do not specify how beneficial lycopene may be from other vitamins in tomatoes, the studies do show that high intake of lycopene has been identified as an antioxidant has been linked to reduce cancer and heart disease.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">The abstract of the study can be found <a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://www.neurology.org/content/79/15/1540.abstract?sid=f373838f-cf34-4906-86dd-ba656616ae322" title="Study Abstract"> here.</a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://www.deardorfffamilyfarms.com/philosophy.html"> Deardorff Family Farms </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
