Scientists have found that the red-pigmented antioxidant “lycopene” which is found in many fruits and vegetables especially tomatoes, may play an important role in reducing risks of many diseases, including cancer.

No no no...I didn't say go and open a jar of tomato past and dig in! Just that several studies have linked diets high in tomatoes with lower risks of certain cancers.

A Harvard study in the mid-1990s found that men who consumed at least 10 servings of tomato products per week had a 34 percent lower risk of prostate cancer than other men. More recent research suggests that lycopene benefits women, too.
But just before you go saying "YUCK" consider that there are really easy ways to add tomatoes into your diet. Current research suggests 30 milligrams daily is enough such as a simple smearing of ketchup on a sandwich bun or sipping a cup of tomato juice.
So it shouldn’t be that hard. Those of you, like me, who use a lot of ketchup already: You’re on the right track!
