This is interesting for man about tomatoes & .........
09/11/2004 - Northwestern University is seeking to discover whether lycopene - an antioxidant commonly found in tomatoes and tomato-based products and commonly perceived to reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer – can reverse pre-cancerous prostate changes.
The researchers want to determine whether natural tomato oil with a high concentration of lycopene may reverse or delay the progression of high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN), a condition in which abnormal cells form within the prostate, and which is the strongest risk factor yet identified for the development of prostate cancer.
The study will be headed by Peter Gann, professor of preventive medicine at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
Lycopene has been found to have anti-tumor activity in a number of laboratory studies and has been used in several cancer studies in humans that demonstrated a lower cancer rate in people with a high dietary intake of lycopene. Can tomatoes stop pre-cancerous prostate changes? Read More..
