TOMATOES - THE WHOLE TRUTH
Leading scientists have announced that tomatoes can be of a great benefit to our health. A lot of research
has been (23) out in recent years. It's the whole tomato that may lower cancer risks, not individual
compounds, according to new research. Experts have discovered that taking the antioxidant lycopene –
(24) is found in tomatoes, but is increasingly popular as a health food supplement (25) its
link to a reduced risk of cancer – did not work as (26) as eating whole tomatoes. Scientists believe
people should eat them in pastas, salads, tomato juice and pizza. Recent findings suggest that the risks of
poor eating habits cannot be reversed with a pill. We shouldn't expect easy solutions (27) a
complex problem.

For some people, hip hop is a rebellious form of music that promotes violence and hate. Despite this, hip
hop has gained in popularity and now has a huge fan base around the world. But does its reputation only
represent one side of the story? You don't have to dig deep to see the positive effects that hip hop has had
on its listeners.
An example of the unlikely positive effects of hip hop is the fact that, although it originally developed
within the African-American community, seventy-five percent of the hip hop audience is non-African.
This shows that it has enabled millions of young people across the world to identify with each other. Hip
hop has also played an important role in promoting social and political awareness. Many teenagers have
been encouraged to discuss social issues such as education, voting, and racial discrimination.
Teenagers have also found positive role models in hip hop music. Many hip hop artists come from a poor
background and their success stories are a great source of motivation to teenagers who would appear to
have few opportunities in life. It inspires them to go after their dreams and do something constructive
with their lives.
