This news item contains a rather misleading headline. The study revealed that the whole tomato, not just one ingredient, works rather remarkably to reduce prostate cancer. In fact, the study produced results so stunning that if a prescription drug demonstrated the same benefit, it would be hailed as a miracle of modern medicine.

And yet this headline seeks to discredit dietary supplements by emphasizing how a single, isolated chemical doesn't work well.

It reminds me of joke about how athletes from China and the USA compete in a foot race. The USA runner wins, and the athlete from China loses. But the Chinese press announces, "China takes silver medal. USA finishes next to last."

However, the headline of this article probably doesn't reflect the true conclusions of the researchers involved. In fact, the researchers seem to fully support the idea that whole foods, not isolated chemicals, are the real solution to human health. Here are two relevant quotes:

"Our findings strongly suggest that risks of poor dietary habits cannot be reversed simply by taking a pill," says study co-author Steven K. Clinton, associate professor of hematology and oncology and of human nutrition. "We shouldn't expect easy solutions to complex problems. We must focus more on choosing a variety of healthy foods, exercising and watching our weight."
