Can Tomatoes Fight Cancer?

Scientists have now developed a purple tomato that can help fight cancer but as a gardener I want to know if I can grow one of these new super tomatoes. Well, at this stage it does not appear to be something gardeners can do and this is because the tomato has been genetically modified in the UK. What the scientists have done is to take a gene from a flower and insert this into a tomato to create what people are claiming to be a super tomato.
