LYCOPENE Wards off Cancer 

Lycopene is a bright red carotene and carotenoid pigment and phytochemical found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, red bell peppers, watermelons, gac, and papayas (but not strawberries or cherries).

- Lowers risks of certain cancers, especially lung, stomach and prostate cancers

- Processed tomatoes contain more lycopene than raw 

- Eating tomatoes with a little bit of fat helps lycopene to better absorb by the body
