Garden Secret KILLS Cancer

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Stomach cancer is one of the most devastating diseases you can face.
Even if you’re lucky enough to survive it, it can come sickening treatments and radical surgeries that could change your life forever.
Fortunately, an international team of researchers has just discovered that a tasty garden treat may have the power to kill stomach cancer cells and keep tumors from spreading.
But you need to make sure you’re getting the right kind.
Tomatoes are the cancer-busting plant I’m talking about.
Previous studies have shown that lycopene, an antioxidant in tomatoes, can help fight cancer.
More recently, researchers were curious to see if whole tomato extract from two specific types of tomatoes had any effect on stomach cancer cells.
For the experiment, researchers tested extracts from the San Marzano and Corbarino tomato varieties against stomach cancer cells in a laboratory.
And what they found was incredible…
The extracts stopped the growth of stomach cancer cells, hindered their malignant characteristics and even triggered cancer cell death.
Researchers believe whole tomato extracts are so effective because they are loaded with bioactive compounds, including lycopene that can help fight inflammation — a key driver of all disease.
You can get San Marzano and Corbarino tomatoes in the fresh or canned section of your local grocery store.
Even better, you can grow them.
With just a little digging and watering, you can have an endless supply of cancer-fighting tomatoes all summer long.
