Eat tomatoes can prevent multiple types of cancer

Can low-cost tomatoes really prevent cancer? After examining the evidence, Canadian researchers concluded that it is very likely. In a Canadian medical journal published today, Yagavow and Raul, nutrition science experts at the University of Toronto, published papers that the main reason why tomatoes can prevent cancer is Lycopene.

Lycopene is the main element of red color in tomatoes. It is also the most effective antioxidant. Cell oxidation is the main cause of certain chronic diseases, including cancer and heart disease.

After reviewing various existing literature, Yaghar and Raul discovered that lycopene has controlled gene function, regulates certain hormones and immune responses, regulates metabolism, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.

The research report of the two people pointed out that the above effects of lycopene can occur at the same time and provide the best guarantee for people's health. They also stated that no matter how to eat tomato food, as long as the intake of sufficient amount of tomatoes, it is always good for health.

A large-scale survey conducted on the health of the elderly conducted in the United States also found that older people who consume more tomatoes have a longer life expectancy. Another long-term survey conducted by U.S. medical experts also showed that those who consume tomatoes more than 10 times per week have a 35% reduction in the risk of prostate cancer.

Other studies have also shown that people who regularly eat tomatoes also have a significantly reduced chance of developing breast cancer and cancer in the digestive tract. University of Toronto researchers examined 35 large research reports. 35 studies have pointed out that if the consumption of tomatoes increases, the probability of suffering from cancer will decrease.

Yajawo and Raul said that although epidemiological evidence shows that lycopene is very convincing in terms of anti-cancer effects, its true function must be further confirmed.

Tomatoes with high lycopene content include ketchup, pizza, tomato soup, and pasta sauces.
