Cancer-fighting tomato on sale

We already knew that tomatoes have some great antioxidants that help ward off prostate cancer, breast cancer and colonic cancers. The tomatoes main weapon is lycopene which is an antioxidant that is thought to halt cell damage in the body and it gives tomatoes their red colour. A study of thousands of men found that eating 10 or more servings of tomato sauce or tomatoes a week reduced prostate cancer risk by 45%. Other research has found that lycopene may be able to reduce the amount of so-called “bad” cholesterol and perhaps the risk of heart disease.

Now Tesco are marketing a super tomato that has extra high levels of lycopene. So if you love tomatoes and believe that thos antioxidants are your saviour, get along to Tesco !
