Tomato
- Eating tomatoes, ketchup, tomato sauce and tomato paste-topped pizza more than two times a week can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 21 to 43 percent according to Dr. Edward Giovannucci of the Harvard University School of Public Health.
- «Cooking tomatoes in oil encourages intestinal absorption and results in a two-to-threefold rise in plasma lycopene concentrations,» said Dr. Giovannucci. «Tomato sauce is one of the best lycopene sources.»
- Men who eat two or more servings of tomato products average a 35 percent reduction in prostate cancer risk.
- Tomato products are beneficial in aggressive cancers that have also spread to other parts of the body.
