Tomatoes May Help Reduce Cancer Risk
The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of a study conducted by Harvard University researchers in December 1995 which showed an association between consuming a diet rich in tomato-based foods and a decreased risk of prostate cancer.
The researchers analyzed the eating habits of over 47,000 men between the ages of 40-75 for six years.
They found that the consumption of tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato juice and pizza was associated with a reduced risk for developing prostate cancer.
Researchers suspect that lycopene, an antioxidant nutrient found in tomatoes, may be responsible for this possible protective effect.

What are Lycopenes?
Lycopenes are part of the carotenoid family of pigments that create the color in certain fruits and vegetables.
And like essential amino acids, they are not manufactured in the body. Research shows that lycopenes are the most powerful antioxidant in the carotenoid family.
Antioxidants, which include vitamin C and E, are important in protecting the body from free radicals which degrade many parts of the body.
