The American Holistic Health Association (AHHA) offers a free monthly Special Updates email report that includes a Featured Research item. The goal is to present research that may be relevant as you (and your healthcare support team) consider health-enhancing lifestyle and treatment options. Through the years AHHA has used a number of sources that generously provided us appropriate research to be included in the eReports. These sources were selected because of their known high standards for evaluating research.

Details about this study are in “Lycopene Consumption Linked to Lower Heart Disease Risk” in the January, 2013, issue of Natural Standard’s Integrative Medicine Newsletter.
