Tomato
Tomatoes are one of the only dietary sources of the anti-oxidant lycopene. Lycopene is a pigment that gives vegetables and fruits their red color. Lycopene is very high in antioxidants. Studies show that a food high in lycopene, primarily tomatoes, is associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease. A Harvard University study found that eating 10 or more servings a week of tomato products can lower the chance for prostate cancer by as much as 34 percent.
