Tomato - THE SECRET OF LYCOPENE

Tomatoes contain a compound called lycopene—known to be important for prostate health. Lycopene is a carotenoid, an antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables.

Lycopene may act in several different ways to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and affect inflammation or immune system function.

Tomatoes also contain vitamin C and other carotenoids that make it a healthful food beneficial for many medical conditions. Research suggests that consuming tomatoes and tomato products—and hence lycopene—lowers risk for developing prostate cancer.

The medicinal use of lycopene is still being debated and defined. The varied effects of lycopene are also of interest to researchers for the treatment or prevention of liver, pancreatic, lung, and gastric cancers.

OBTAINING AND USING

Tomatoes, and in particular cooked tomato products—tomato sauce, tomato juice, and tomatoes baked, stir-fried, or boiled—provide lycopene and other nutrients relevant to prostate cancer prevention.

One estimate is that 10 servings a week of cooked tomatoes provide the best benefit for prostate cancer prevention. In addition, capsules containing 5 to 15 mg lycopene can be taken once a day.

PRECAUTIONS

Some antioxidants are of concern for people undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Check with a health care provider before adding lycopene to any cancer treatment protocol.
