A Simple Drink Could Help Fight Inflammation Linked to Many Diseases

A new study has put an ordinary-looking drink at the centre of a bigger health question: can food-based compounds help calm the low-grade inflammation linked to long-term disease risk? The drink is not an exotic supplement or a medical treatment. It is a tomato-soy juice designed to deliver plant compounds from both tomatoes and soy.

According to SciTechDaily, researchers found that drinking a tomato-soy juice rich in bioactive plant compounds changed inflammation-related signals in healthy adults with obesity after four weeks. The study suggests the drink may work as a functional food, but it does not prove that tomato-soy juice prevents or treats disease on its own.
