A recent small scale study has indicated that tomato juice contains a factor (dubbed P3) which inhibits platelets in blood from clumping together and forming blood clots. http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/292/7/805 http://www.rowett.ac.uk/press/pr09.00-tomato.html. The authors suggest this might be beneficial to diabetes sufferers. The actual effect of increased intake of tomato juice by diabetics has never been studied. Tomato juice also contains the antioxidant lycopene which some people believe might protect against cancer.

Uses of tomato juice

Apart from the obvious use as a beverage, tomato juice's mild acidity means that it can be used to clean up old coins or metal saucepans in much the same way as other acidic substances such as Coca Cola are used.
