Cancer Protective Diet
Canned Tomatoes to the Rescue!
Plain canned tomatoes are the basis of so many quick meals. Not only are they versatile, but they’re also rich in the antioxidant lycopene, an important nutrient for reducing cancer risk, especially prostate cancer. Although fresh summer tomatoes are delicious, the lycopene in tomatoes becomes more bio-available to us when cooked or processed for canning, meaning this important nutrient is at our fingertips year-round!
