Harvard researchers have discovered that the risk of prostate cancer is reduced 45% amongst men eating ten servings of tomato-based products a week. This is due to tomatoes having lycopene which give tomatoes their red color. Tomato sauce produced the greatest protection since cooking breaks down the tomato's cell walls, allowing for easier absorption. For those not willing to scarf down pizza ten times a week, other sources of lycopene include pink grapefruit, guava, watermelon, papaya, apricots and your friend and mine, rose hips.
