 But lycopene is just one of the many nutrients in a tomato, and, in fact, in isolation lycopene is not nearly as effective as the whole tomato. Then, it's not nearly as effective as a cooked tomato. In this case, a cooked tomato is far more potent than a raw tomato because of the way the lycopene is tied up with certain proteins. They are broken down by heat. By eating tomatoes, you are, in fact, preventing prostate cancer and many other forms of cancer.
If you go down the whole chart and eat the various colors, you will be preventing chronic disease in a powerful way. |

 Men who ate 10 servings a week of tomatoes and tomato sauce on pizzas had 45% less cancer of the prostate than those eating no tomatoes. Surprisingly, tomatoes on pizza seemed more beneficial than raw tomato, suggesting that heating the tomato paste increases the anticancer effect. This study confirms previous studies of Mediterreanean people, who showed that they had one of the lowest rates of prostate cancer. Afro-Americans eat few tomatoes and they had the highest rate of prostate cancer. |

 They found that the men eating ten servings or more a week of tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato juice, and even pizza had 45 percent fewer prostate cancers than men who ate fewer than two servings a week. In another study done a few years later at the Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, researchers gave lycopene supplements to thirty men who already had prostate cancer. Those given the lycopene supplements had smaller tumors and less spreading of the cancer. Best of all, the tumors in the participants who consumed lycopene supplements showed signs of regression and decreased malignancy. |

 Garden tomato Complexion Soap ($8 for a 4 ounce bar) has tomato powder but that's of little consequence in a drying bar soap, and lycopene (the red pigment in tomatoes) has no ability to balance skin's pH as claimed.
© Orange Essence Facial Cleanser ($8 for 4.34 ounces) has more than orange essence; it irritates skin with orange and rosemary oils and is not recommended. It isn't even a very good cleanser, making it a waste of time and money. |

 A recent animal study suggests that lycopene supplementation (high in yellow/orange fruits and vegetables and especially high in tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato juice) may decrease the incidence and size of leiomyomas.23 Another study extolled the benefits of a vegetarian diet by finding that women who suffered from fibroids were more likely to have high consumption of red meat and ham and have low consumption of fruits and green vegetables.24

Get the Most Out of Your Tomatoes
The anticancer properties of lycopene are especially beneficial when consumed with fat-rich foods, such as avocado, olive oil, or nuts. Why? Because carotenoids are fat-soluble nutrients. To get maximum absorption of them, you need to eat them with a little fat!
Besides lycopene, tomatoes contain a variety of other powerful phytochemicals that fight disease. |

 So, while these studies certainly indicate that the tomato is still a healthy food,28 does that mean we can assume that lycopene, by itself, reduces prostate cancer risk? There are hundreds, even thousands, of chemicals in tomatoes. Do we have evidence that isolated lycopene will do what tomatoes do, especially for those who don't like tomatoes? The answer is no.29
There is no evidence for a lycopene-specific effect on prostate cancer, and I seriously doubt whether we will ever have convincing evidence. Nonetheless the lycopene business is up and running. |

| You can't take a tomato and patent that tomato, then restrict it from the population and make sure it can only be prescribed through pharmacies. Of course, certain hybrid tomatoes can be patented, but those are more along the lines of scientific experiments than ordinary, everyday garden tomatoes that I'm talking about here. The point is that these healing foods — like broccoli, garlic and onions — can't be patented. So the pharmaceutical companies cannot own the intellectual property that's at stake here. |

 For example, tomato consumption in Italy ranges from 49 to 175 grams annually, a three-fold variation. Furthermore, Italians are likely to use processed tomatoes, such as tomato sauce or paste, which provides more concentrated sources of lycopene and use olive oil with their meals, which enhances absorption of lycopene.
When researchers combined the results of 21 studies they found lycopene plays a preventive role against prostate cancer, but the effect was statistically modest. [Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers Prevention 13: 340-45, 2004] There is good reason for this. |
| Intake of tomatoes may not deliver significant amounts of the right form of lycopene to the prostate gland because of the type of tomato product (processed or raw), co-administration with oil or fat for absorption, and number of cholesterol particles available for transport.
Other studies state the lycopene concentration in blood serum has been recorded as high as 2.58 nanomole from foods. But supplementation could potentially raise this figure even further. [Archives Biochemistry Biophysics 336: 1-9, 1996] Furthermore, lycopene from tomato paste raises blood levels 2. |

 Consumption of tomato products has been linked to decreased risk of prostate cancer. Men in the highest quintile for consumption of tomato products (10 or more servings a week) had about a 35% decrease in risk of prostate cancer compared to counterparts whose consumption put them in the lowest quintile (1.5 or fewer servings of tomato products a week) (Giovannucci et al. Journal of the National Cancer Institute 1995;87:1767). |

Tomato-Eating Men Have Fewer Prostate Cancers
Cooked tomatoes, especially those cooked with oil, are a rich source of the carotenoid lycopene. There is promising research showing that lycopene is associated with significant reduction in prostate cancer. As far back as 1995, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of a study conducted by Harvard University researchers that looked at the eating habits of more than 47,000 men between the ages of forty and seventy-five. |

 Meanwhile, the term "no added sugar" is used for a variety of foods with naturally occurring sugars such as jams, jellies, and other preserves; yogurt; milk; some vegetables; and tomato sauce.
2. IF A FOOD IS LABELED "SUGAR FREE," IT CONTAINS NO SUGAR.
NOT NECESSARILY TRUE. So-called sugar-free foods can legally contain trace amounts of sugar—less than .5 grams per serving, according to the FDA, which sets labeling guidelines. This means about one-eighth (or less) of a teaspoon of sugar might be in that tomato sauce you're eating. |

 Sometimes tomato powder or dried tomato pieces are used in recipes, and occasionally finely diced tomato is sprinkled on top of a meal as a garnish. I know some people who are sensitive to gluten, so they always ask that fish not be dredged in flour. Most restaurants want to accommodate their customers, and most waiters and waitresses are willing to check with the chef and have a meal modified to satisfy a customer. For example, for a quick lunch out, I will often order a grilled chicken breast or a turkey burger, but without the bun and with vegetables (preferably steamed) instead of fries. |
