Data indicate that flTom significantly exceeded the wild type tomatoes in decreasing CRP levels, and therefore cardiovascular and type 2- diabetes risks.

An Inconvenient Truth

[Youtube.com] From stopglobalwarming: Eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change.
