 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 sugarless 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. |

 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. |

 For example, a store bought can of tomato sauce that does not contain any preservatives or chemical additives would be more natural than another brand that does contain preservatives and additives. While a fresh batch of tomatoes from the garden or produce section cooked down to tomato sauce would be more natural and fresher than either of the canned products.
Two other important considerations on the topic of natural have to do with how we eat our food. First, many people who advocate an all raw, or a predominately raw foods diet believe that cooking food is not natural. |

 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. |

Tuna
Canned tuna is the second most popular seafood product in the United States after shrimp. If other healthy foods were that popular, we'd be in good shape.
All of the good stuff about seafood applies, of course, to tuna. Although it doesn't have as many omega-3 fats as salmon or sardines do, it's still considered a fatty fish, and a serving of tuna does provide some healthy omega-3s.
Here again, the source of the food is everything. |

 Studies show that the risk of developing certain cancers decreases when you eat ten or more tablespoons a week of tomato sauce. Many believe that the active ingredient responsible is lycopene, a carotenoid known for its antioxidant properties. All tomato products contains lots of lycopene, but it's more available to your body when it's cooked. While you're at it, add some cruciferous vegetables like broccoli to your sauce. They contain chemicals that prevent cancer.
YOU Tip: Oil On. In a test of olive oils, researchers found anticarcinogenic properties in monounsaturated fat. |

 Pizza is made with refined flour (which lacks vitamins and minerals) that's cooked to high temperatures (creating cancer-causing acrylamides), then smothered with tomato sauce made with refined sugar (yes, there's sugar in most pizza sauce), then layered with more processed meat (yet more cancer risk) and processed cheese (can you spell H-E-A-R-T D-I-S-E-A-S-E?). Slapping a few flappy bits of overcooked green peppers and canned mushrooms into this pie does NOT make it a health food.
Geesh. You would think this stuff would be obvious by now. |

 Coat the bottom of a 9" x 13" baking pan with tomato sauce, then add a layer of lasagna noodles, overlapping them slightly. Spread half of the spinach mixture over the noodles. Follow with another layer of noodles, then tomato sauce, and a layer of mushrooms or other veggies. Repeat until the layers reach the top of the pan. The final layer should be sauce topped with vegan Parmesan or yeast flakes.
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour. Stick a knife through the center of the lasagna to be sure the noodles are completely cooked. Let stand for 15 minutes, uncovered, before serving. |

| This means about one-eighth (or less) of a teaspoon of sugar might be in that tomato sauce you're eating. "If you consume only one serving, then you're getting negligible amounts of sugar," points out
Lynn Grieger, R.D., www.ivillage.com's healthy-eating expert, "but if you eat several servings of one food or many 'sugar-free' foods throughout the day, then the amount of sugar you get can add up."

 The FDA responded to the appeal by saying that it is mulling over the idea of accepting a health claim for lycopene as follows: "Prostate Cancer - Very limited and preliminary scientific research suggests that eating one-half to one cup of tomatoes and/or tomato sauce a week may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. FDA concludes that there is little scientific evidence supporting this claim." [FDA Docket No. |

 The most consistent relationship that has been observed is an inverse association between intake of vegetables and fruit and risk for ovarian cancer, which was found in seven of these studies [289, 300, 302-306], with intakes of green leafy vegetables, carrots, and tomato sauce the vegetables specifically associated with reduced risk. Additionally, one of the cohort studies found that women who consumed at least 2.5 servings of vegetables and fruit as adolescents had a 46% reduction in risk for ovarian cancer [307], although adult vegetable and fruit intake was unrelated to risk in that study. |

 In a 2002 randomized controlled trial, researchers assessed the effect of 200 g of tomato sauce daily (containing 30 mg of lycopene) on DNA damage in men with prostate cancer. There were many notable benefits from the tomato sauce that yielded statistical significance, some of which included a 17.5% decrease in mean prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels, and a reduction in DNA damage in both leukocyte (white blood cell) and prostate tissue. The results of these studies indicate that lycopene or lycopene-containing foods can exert potent anticancer effects among men with prostate cancer. |
