Benefits of Tomatoes
• The red pigment contained in tomatoes is called lycopene. This compound appears to act as an antioxidant, neutralising free radicals that can damage cells in the body. Only recently, studies have revealed that lycopene may have twice the punch of another well-known antioxidant betacarotene.
• Studies conducted by Harvard researchers have discovered that men who consumed 10 servings of tomatoes a week, or the equivalent to 10 slices of pizza, can cut the risk of developing prostate cancer by a formidable 45 per cent. However, its benefits are not limited to the prostate.
• Italian researchers have found that those who consume more that seven servings of raw tomatoes lower the risk of developing rectal colon or stomach cancers by 60 per cent.
