Tomatoes can help send cancer packing

Tomato fruits (yes, they are not vegetables) contain lycopene, a pigment and phytochemical that is extremely healthy and can even be found in higher-end nutritional supplements and holistic cancer-preventing compounds. Is it really that good?

From all I've read, yes it is. Just like blueberries, tomatoes are excellent and natural ways to help ward off cancer while being tasty and ultimately nutritious at the same time.

Guys -- you'll be glad to know that lycopene has been demonstrated to be particularly effective at protecting men from prostate cancer. In addition to saw palmetto, perhaps tomatoes should be a daily part of your diet? Slice one on a few halves of whole-grain wheat bread (without sweeteners) and it makes a very tasty meal. Zing it up with some spicy mustard, and you've got one of my favorite snacks.
