Drinking a juice made from tomatoes and soy that contains certain plant compounds is associated with lower levels of specific inflammatory proteins in the bloodstream among adults with obesity.

We analyzed the available evidence on tomato-soy juice and inflammatory proteins in adults with obesity, and what we’ve found so far is limited but consistent. One assertion suggests that drinking a juice made from tomatoes and soy — which contains certain plant compounds — is associated with lower levels of specific inflammatory proteins in the bloodstream among adults with obesity [1]. There are no studies in our review that contradict this finding. The evidence we’ve reviewed leans toward a connection between this type of juice and reduced inflammatory markers, but we only have one assertion to work with, and it does not include details about study design, sample size, duration, or how the juice was prepared. We don’t know if the effect was large or small, or whether it lasted over time. We also don’t know if the change in inflammatory proteins translates to any noticeable health benefit. Because we only have one assertion and no actual studies listed, we cannot say whether this effect is reliable or repeatable. It’s possible that more research would show different results, or that the original claim was based on a single small observation. We also don’t know if other factors — like diet, activity, or medication — might have influenced the outcome. For now, the evidence we’ve reviewed doesn’t rule out a link between tomato-soy juice and lower inflammatory proteins in adults with obesity, but it’s too early to say whether this is meaningful or consistent. If you’re considering this juice as part of your routine, it may be worth trying as a healthy beverage choice, but don’t expect it to be a targeted solution for inflammation without more solid evidence.
