The Antioxidant Lycopene May Help To Prevent Cancer

New research suggests that one specific form of
tomatoes -- dehydrated tomatoes -- may have the
ability to prevent prostate cancer.

When mice were fed dehydrated tomato plus FruHis,
an organic carbohydrate found in dehydrated tomato
products, and then injected with chemicals that
cause prostate cancer, the dehydrated tomato
stopped the development of cancer 90 percent
of the time.

"Processing of many edible plants through heating,
grinding, mixing, or drying dramatically increases
their nutritional value, including their cancer
prevention potential," said Valeri Mossine, Ph.D,
research assistant professor of biochemistry at
the University of Missouri. "It appears that the
greatest protective effect from tomatoes comes by
rehydrating tomato powder into tomato paste."

When researchers added lycopene to FruHis and tested
the mixture on cells in virto, cancer growth stopped
more than 98 percent of the time!

"Experiments like this suggest that a combination
of FruHis and lycopene should be investigated as
a potential therapeutic anti-tumor agent, not just
a prevention strategy," said Mossine.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research
scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center,
"low heat dehydrated tomato are rich in
the antioxidant lycopene which we have
found will help to maintain the alkaline
design of the body and prevent a cancerous
condition."
