Tomato-Based Foods May Reduce Your Cancer Risk.
Now There's A New Reason To Continue Eating Some Old Favorites .
(NAPSI)-Now there is another healthy reason to continue enjoying tomato-based favorites like pizza, spaghetti with tomato sauce, and tomato ketchup on your hamburger: powerful scientific evidence has demonstrated a diet high in processed tomato consumption reduces the risk of developing certain cancers.

Studies have shown a link between lycopene, the carotenoid which gives tomatoes their red color, and a reduced risk of several types of cancer. A recent Harvard study found that men who ate ten or more servings per week of lycopene-rich foods, such as tomato sauce, canned tomatoes and ketchup had a one-third lower risk of developing prostate cancer than men who ate fewer than two servings a week. Other studies show a link between lycopene and a delay in the growth of cancer cells in the breast, lung and uterus.

"The evidence has shown most health benefits stem from tomato products or foods made from them like pizza," says Dr. Steven Clinton, a researcher at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.Ê"Lycopene appears to be more efficiently absorbed from sauce, paste or tomato ketchup than it is from raw tomatoes. Not only does the processing concentrate the amount of lycopene present, but it has also been suggested that the processing of tomato products may increase lycopene absorption." Thus, in the case of this disease-fighting carotenoid, processed tomato products are a better choice than fresh tomatoes.

Since the body does not produce lycopene, the beneficial effects of this carotenoid can only be obtained through foods. Inexpensive and easy to prepare, tomato-based products combine well with chicken, fish, rice, pasta or other vegetables. And, don't forget a serving of processed tomato products accounts for one serving of fruits and vegetables in the USDA Food Guide Pyramid.

To maintain a healthy diet, it's comforting to know that a pantry full of processed tomato products is not only a family favorite but potentially a powerful aid in the battle against chronic disease.
