Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
At last, tomatoes improve their reputation despite recent reports of them causing cases of salmonella. Just last week, Springer's journal "Biotechnology Letter" had a study on how transgenic plants, like tomatoes, are used to produce a vaccine against Alzheimer's disease.
Would we simply need to eat more tomatoes to ward off symptoms of Alzheimer's disease? According to the report, researchers believe that tomatoes may help create an edible cure for the disease. To prevent Alzheimer's disease, scientists are looking to stimulate the immune system to reduce beta-amyloid which is a toxic protein in the brain that destroys neurons. Apparently, the tomatoes had strong immune responses on mice which lead scientists to wonder the possibilities of a tomato-based cure for the disease.
So, just when you thought you should avoid tomatoes, it turns out they might be incredibly beneficial to your health. Finally, you could enjoy your cool refreshing mildly spicy gazpacho soup without wondering about the tomatoes causing salmonella.

My mother has two types of cancer,an enlarged heart and emphysema yet she remains sharp as a tack with know signs of alzheimers at the age of 69.

I don't especially enjoy raw onions and peppers, so I have a recipe I call "Hot Gazpacho" on my site. I use canned tomatoes, but if you want to chop up a bunch of fresh ones, that would work, too. And you can make the soup and then chill it to have something similar to gazpacho, but with no worries about salmonella.
