The magazine noted that many previous studies focused on the antioxidants, carotenoids, and vegetable fats that can be obtained from tomatoes or olives, and their effects on health, but the scientists in the new study focused on studying the proteins and peptides found in the fruits of these plants.
Experiments conducted by researchers on laboratory fish showed that certain compounds found in small protein molecules extracted from tomatoes are able to inhibit the formation of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth.
Experiments conducted on human tumor cells have also shown that olive fruits contain substances that combat the growth of cancer cells, particularly the bioactive peptide LLP-10.
The researchers stressed that most of the results were obtained under laboratory conditions, and it is still necessary to determine whether these compounds retain their properties after digestion, and whether they are able to reach tumors in the body.
A study conducted by scientists from the Spanish Rovira i Virgili University found that extra virgin olive oil promotes brain health in old age. People who regularly consume unrefined extra virgin olive oil were observed to have better indicators of memory and thinking, as well as greater diversity of gut bacteria, which is an indicator of metabolic and gut health.
The journal Nutrients previously published the results of a Japanese study showing that daily consumption of extra virgin olive oil can significantly improve blood vessel health in people with high cholesterol.
