Eating more tomatoes and tomato products can make people healthier and decrease the risk of conditions such as cancer, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease, according to a review article the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine. Each field-grown tomato shipped out of Florida is regulated by a Federal Marketing Order that controls grade, size, quality and maturity. The standards are the toughest in the world and ensure that Florida tomatoes are the best a person can buy.
