Cancer-Fighting Facts:

Tomatoes are a good source of vitamins A, C, and E, and the antioxidant lycopene. Studies show that lycopene may help prevent prostate, lung, and stomach cancers. The powerful antioxidant can also help reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease by reducing LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and lowering blood pressure. Plus, there’s some evidence that cancers of the pancreas, colon, and rectum, esophagus, oral cavity, breast, and cervix can be reduced with increased lycopene intake.
