Um suco de tomate e soja especialmente formulado reduziu diversos marcadores de inflamação em adultos com obesidade após quatro semanas de consumo diário. A bebida, rica em licopeno e isoflavonas de soja, apresentou resultados superiores aos de um suco de tomate de controle em um pequeno ensaio clínico conduzido por pesquisadores da The Ohio State University.

Doze adultos saudáveis com obesidade participaram do estudo. Eles consumiram duas latas de aproximadamente 177 ml do suco de tomate e soja por dia durante quatro semanas, seguidas por um período de pausa e, posteriormente, quatro semanas consumindo um suco de controle com baixo teor de carotenoides. Amostras de sangue mostraram reduções significativas nas citocinas interleucina-5, IL-12p70 e no fator estimulador de colônias de granulócitos e macrófagos após a fase com o suco de tomate e soja, enquanto o controle não produziu alterações comparáveis.

The researchers emphasized that the results do not prove diet causes lung cancer and said a possible explanation could involve environmental exposures such as pesticides, a hypothesis that requires direct testing.
