Health benefits of tomato consumption research

Overview

Research into tomato consumption suggests potential health benefits regarding inflammation and metabolic health.

An Ohio State University study involving obese adults found that a tomato-soy beverage could reduce systemic inflammation. The four-week trial observed significant reductions in three inflammation-related cytokines, likely due to the combination of lycopene and soy isoflavones.

Subsequent research published in the journal Nutrients focused on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). A six-week study involving 79 adults indicated that daily tomato consumption—specifically 200 grams of raw tomato and 50 grams of tomato sauce—may help reduce liver fat accumulation. Using non-invasive FibroScan testing, researchers measured a liver fat reduction of 35 dB/m in the tomato-consuming group, compared to 18 dB/m in the control group.

Researchers identified the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of lycopene as a potential driver of these effects, noting that liver fat reduction occurred independently of changes in body weight, waist circumference, or blood markers such as glucose, insulin, and cholesterol. Scientists noted that MASLD can progress to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), potentially leading to cirrhosis or liver failure, but further research is required to validate these findings with larger populations.
