tomato nutrition


I have read 1 article about tomato. from this article it said that a review of 72 different studied showed consistently that the tomatoes and tomato products people eat, the lower their risks of many different kind of cancer. In one studied, 10 healthy women ate a diet containing two ounces of tomato puree each day for three weeks, either preceded by or followed by a tomato free diet for three weks. The researchers measured blood levels of lycopene and evaluated oxidative damaged to cells before and after each phase. They found that cell damaged dropped by 33% to 42% after consuming yhe tomato diet. the tomato is also an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of vitamin A.
