Tomato: Lycopene
Lycopene is a secondary plant substance from the carotenoid class. An increased intake of lycopene helps to protect the body from harmful toxins and thus reduces the risk of tissue damage and associated diseases. Studies show that lycopene can reduce the risk of certain cancers, particularly prostate cancer. It inhibits neo-angiogenesis, which takes place during tumour formation.
