Details

  • Eating tomatoes and broccoli together may offer better protection against cancer than eating either alone, say US researchers.
  • Rats fed both foods together had less prostate cancer growth than rats fed either tomatoes or broccoli.
  • Dr Erdman, professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois, said: "We decided to look at these foods in combination because we believed it was a way to learn more about real diets eaten by real people.
  • "People don't eat nutrients, they eat food.
  • His team had previously found rats fed lycopene - the chemical in tomatoes thought to fight cancer - were not afforded greater protection against prostate cancer.
  • Dr Erdman's team examined how different food and nutrient combinations affected the growth of prostate tumours in rats.
  • A final group of rats was fed a normal diet and given a drug commonly prescribed to men with benign growth of the prostate which is also being tested for its potential to prevent prostate cancer.
  • "This research supports previous dietary studies showing that eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits protects men from prostate cancer.
