See book keywords and concepts | In the Harvard study, the only tomato-based food that did not correlate with protection was tomato juice. In an unblinded, controlled trial, lyeopene supplementation, but not tomato juice, effectively increased the body's lyeopene stores.23 These studies suggest that the lyeopene present in tomato juice is poorly absorbed. However, other research indicates that significant amounts of lyeopene from tomato juice can, in fact, be absorbed.24 Other foods that contain lyeopene include watermelon, pink grapefruit, and guava. | David W. Grotto, RD, LDN See book keywords and concepts | An animal study in which subjects were given either tomato juice or a lycopene supplement, and then had heart damage introduced, found that both reduced lipid peroxidation; however, only tomato juice reduced heart cell death and damage to the heart and improved heart function. An in vitro study using tomato extract found that tomatoes contain compounds that reduced platelet aggregation (blood stickiness). | Bill Sardi See book keywords and concepts | Journal Medicinal Food 4: 9-15, 2001]
In a controlled study, healthy adults were given lycopene-rich tomato juice, tomato oleoresin or a lycopene beadlet supplement containing 70-75 mg lycopene, for four weeks for each source. The concentration of lycopene in the oral tissues (cheek) doubled over this time period with beadlet and oleoresin forms of lycopene, but not with tomato juice treatment. [American Journal Clinical Nutrition 70: 490-94, 1999]
Companion nutrients
It is difficult to expect a single nutrient like lycopene to eradicate prostate cancer. | | However, subjecting tomato juice to cooking temperatures in the presence of corn oil results in the formation of the cis isomeric form, which is more bioavailable, but not necessarily the most desirable form.

Mix and refrigerate. | Bill Sardi See book keywords and concepts | Journal National Cancer Institute 94: 391-94, 2002] The American diet provides ~8 mg of lycopene daily, so supplements would appear to be beneficial, though tomato paste and tomato juice are excellent sources as well.
Thirty-milligrams of lycopene daily obtained from a variety of food sources has been shown to increase blood levels by three times. [Canadian Journal Dietary Practice Research 65: 161-65, 2004]
With all of these reports to analyse, readers are likely to ask, "50 how much lycopene do the studies say to consume?" The answer is, as much as you can get, in highly absorbable forms. | | However, this would require the consumption of two glasses of tomato juice and two pounds of cruciferous vegetables per day. [Cancer Causes Control 16:125-38, 2005] Similarly, omega-3 oils from flaxseed or fish beneficially control genes and prevent breast cancer. [Advances Experimental Medicine Biology 375: 85-95, 1995] Dietary supplements would be a more practical way of reaching these protective intake levels.

See book keywords and concepts | 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
Whole grains such as brown rice, oats, buckwheat, millet, and rye are excellent sources of B vitamins. | Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan See book keywords and concepts | Beets, tomato juice, red gelatin, and red fruit punches and ice pops are all common culprits.
On the other hand, if you see bright red streaks or spots on your stool— medically known as hematochezia—or on your toilet paper or in the toilet bowl, it can be a tip-off that you have bleeding hemorrhoids or anal fissures (tears) or other rectal or anal injuries. These injuries can result from childbirth, constipation, anal intercourse, or the insertion of objects into the rectum. | David W. Grotto, RD, LDN See book keywords and concepts | Amaranth seeds taste better if cooked in strong-flavored liquids such as tomato juice.
• The leaves are used as a boiled or fried vegetable.
• Amaranth is an excellent thickener for soups.
• Simmer or bake amaranth along with another grain in apple juice, then serve it with fresh fruit.
• Prepare low-fat "refried" amaranth as an alternative to rice.
• You can toast amaranth seeds in a skillet and they pop like popcorn. Popped amaranth makes an excellent breading for fish or meat, or a crunchy topping for soups, salads, and casseroles. | Bill Sardi See book keywords and concepts | The concentration of lycopene in the oral tissues (cheek) doubled over this time period with beadlet and oleoresin forms of lycopene, but not with tomato juice treatment.

Companion nutrients
It is difficult to expect a single nutrient like lycopene to eradicate prostate cancer. In one lab dish study, lycopene was not found to be a potent inhibitor of prostate cancer cells, but when vitamin E was simultaneously added to lycopene, a strong inhibition of cancer cell multiplication, nearly 90%, was observed. | David W. Grotto, RD, LDN See book keywords and concepts | Make salsa, soups, or add tomato juice to rice to make Spanish rice.
My dad says you have to let a pasta sauce cook for at least an hour so the sauce clings to the pasta. This recipe contains seven powerhouse foods. ingredients:
Noni's Marinara Sauce by Arthur Grotto
Servings: 8 four-ounce servings • Prep time: 20 minutes Cooking time: At least 1 hour. Longer for a thicker sauce. | | A concoction of two teaspoons of tomato juice and V* cup buttermilk, applied to burned areas and left on for about a half hour and then rinsed, has provided relief.
Throw Me a Lifesaver!
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: To date, the majority of research suggests that tomato products may be more cardioprotective than lycopene alone. | | Add a dash of horseradish to tomato juice.
• Perk up tuna and potato salad and coleslaw with a dab of horseradish.
Wasabi Asian Noodles by Chef J. Hugh McEvoy Servings: 8 (3 ounces each) • Prep and cooking time: 30 minutes
This recipe contains four powerhouse foods. ingredients:
'A teaspoon fresh wasabi, or horseradish paste I cup enriched semolina flour I cup whole wheat flour

Assemble and prepare pasta machine for use. | Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S. See book keywords and concepts | So does a cup of baked beans, navy beans, tomato juice, cantaloupe, or two medium kiwifruits.
The Importance of Potassium
Bananas are convenient, relatively low in calories (about 100 calories per banana), and the fiber is a big selling point. And even though other foods may contain just as much potassium, that doesn't mean the 422 mg of potassium per medium banana is anything to sneeze at. Let's not forget the major role potassium plays in the body, helping to maintain cell integrity, fluid and electrolyte balance, and, most important, a steady heartbeat! | | 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. | | They found that the men eating ten servings or more a week of high-lycopene tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato juice, and even pizza had 45 percent fewer prostate cancers than men who ate fewer than two servings a week.

At 35 weeks after treatment with the 2 mg NMN dose there was a significantly lower incidence (compared to controls (54%)) in the TJ group (21%), but not in the LY group (33%). At the higher NMN dose, there was also a significant difference between the TJ group (40%) and the controls (84%) or the LTJ groups (72%). When the colon mucosa of the rats was examined, a significant amount of lycopene was found in TJ group but not the LTJ group (Narisawa et al, 1998). | | Mesothelioma
In a case-control epidemiological study of mesothelioma, Tomato or tomato juice consumption of greater than 16 "doses" per month was compared to no doses. The RR for the Tomato group was 0.6 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.2 to 1.9. Ninety-four cases were examined and adjusted for age, religion, occupation, and educational level (Muscat & Huncharek, 1996).
Oral/Pharyngeal Cancer
A case-control epidemiological study of 266 male arid 36 female Italian patients evaluated the RR of developing oral or pharyngeal cancer. | | Uptake of lycopene and its geometrical isomers is greater from heat-processed than from unprocessed tomato juice in humans. J Nutr 122(11):2161-2166. 1992.

The categories included in the trend were: no servings, 1 to 3 servings a month, 1 serving a week, 2 to 4 servings per week, and greater than 5 servings per week. Other carotenoids were also examined; no statistically significant differences were found for these agents (Giovannucci & Clinton, 1998). | | Tomato juice, and group 4 received 75 mg of lycopene as a 6% lycopene Tomato oleoresin. Although the differences in serum lycopene levels were significant (p<0.05) between the placebo and each of the lycopene supplements, there was no significant difference between the various supplements, despite the varied amounts of lycopene administered. Oxidation of DNA and protein was measured using protein thiols and 8-oxodeox-yguanosine contents of lymphocyte DNA. | David W. Grotto, RD, LDN See book keywords and concepts | Studies also suggest that the body's ability to absorb lycopene in fresh watermelon may be comparable to that in tomato juice, which has long been considered the optimal source of lycopene. Watermelon rind offers a natural source of citrulline, an amino acid that promotes nitric oxide production, improving blood flow through arteries. Watermelons are a good source of beta-carotene.
Home Remedies
Watermelon seed tea has been used as a diuretic and to lower blood pressure. Watermelon rind applied to the skin provides relief from itching caused by poison ivy and poison oak. | Michael T. Murray See book keywords and concepts | These measurements were determined in fifty-seven patients with type 2 diabetes after they were randomized to receive either tomato juice (500 mL/day), vitamin E (800 IU/day), vitamin C (500 mg/day), or a placebo for 4 weeks.29 Both the vitamin E and tomato juice groups demonstrated considerable protection against free radical damage to LDL, but only vitamin E reduced CRP. These findings highlight the importance of fat soluble antioxidants such as carotenes and vitamin E in the prevention of heart disease in patients with diabetes. | Ron Garner See book keywords and concepts | Homemade tomato juice. Large salad with cold-pressed oil dressing, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar or lemon juice can be added. Baked potato with a little butter. Green beans and/or broccoli lightly steamed. þLightly stir-fried (use water) vegetables and cashews or almonds, with tamari sauce or Braggs Liquid Aminos" (from a healthfood store) for flavoring. Baked squash. þMixed salad. Broiled or steamed fish (salmon, trout, halibut) and lightly steamed vegetables (not potato or rice). Sliced tomatoes. þSpinach and tomato salad, with oil and lemon dressing. | | Exceptions are apples which will mix compatibly with vegetable juices, and celery and lettuce which will mix with fruits. tomato juice and carrot juice do not make a good combination.
80-90% of the fresh vegetable juice should be from your geographic area when available.
Juices should not be heated or allowed to stand for long, as this kills the live enzymes within them.
Seasonings should not normally be added, with the exception of a few grains of naturally dried sea salt, if desired. |
