So after that I would stick with normal tomatoes - its the sugar content in everything that you need to keep as low as you can.

This Cohen's plan really makes you look more closely at what you are eating - I have learnt more about foods and ingredients in the last 12 weeks doing Cohen's than in the preceding 46 yrs !!! and that can only be a good thing - for me, my body and soul, and my future years of life.

( I like Roma Tomatoes as that is my home town ROMA )

Even readjusting above figures to equal weight the Roma tomatoes have a lot more sugar in them.
