A member asked:
Can lycopene in tomatoes helps prevent cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A definite maybe: The claim has been around for 20 years, the final verdict isn't in, the links that are real tend to get proved fast (for example, Aspirin and colon cancer), and i'm old enough to have seen dozens of these claims collapse on closer examination. If you like tomatoes, go for it.
