A compound found in tomatoes may offer a new way to fight diabetes, scientists have discovered.

Research funded by the French government has shown that lycopene, the substance which gives tomatoes their red color, fights the inflammatory process that causes the condition.

Now a €500,000 ($568,000) research project is being planned to produce a modified lycopene pill to be used in human trials.

he French team led by Dr. Jean-Francois Landrier, director of the French National Health Research Institute’s cardiovascular and nutritional health division at Marseille University, has shown that lycopene dampens down this inflammatory process and slows the development of resistance to insulin signaling.
