Tomato contains cancer fighting lycopene

Tomato contains cancer fighting lycopene.

Tomato lovers may be more likely to reduce the risk of serious disease. Lycopene, an antioxidant which gives tomatoes their lovely rich red color, helps remove free radicals from the body.

Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules and have been implicated in cancer and other serious diseases.

Harvard Medical School published their finding that consuming tomatoes and tomato based products between five to seven servings a week was associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer of 21% to 34%.

The human body does not produce lycopene, so enjoy pink grapefruit, guava, papaya, watermelon and apricots, also!
