Question:
Answers:
People who have diets rich in tomatoes, which contain lycopene, appear to have a lower risk of certain types of cancer, especially cancers of the prostate, lung, and stomach. Further research is needed to find out what role, if any, lycopene has in the prevention or treatment of cancer Lycopene is an antioxidant compound that gives tomatoes and certain other fruits and vegetables their color. It is one of the major carotenoids in the diet of North Americans and Europeans. (Carotenoids are pigments that give yellow, red, and orange colors to vegetables and fruits
Lycopenes I think
Tomatoes are high in antioxidants which are good for you. Same as blueberries. These two things are good for people who have cancer because the antioxidants help "get the poison out".
The food and natural cures book i have says that tomatoes as alot of acid in them that is natural acidic and that it supposed to counter act the acid in most cancers dont know if it works but i eat alot of them just in case. hope this helps
Tomato intake does not heal cancer. There was preliminary research that indicated that eating significant amounts of tomatoes had the potential to reduce your chances of developing certain types of cancer due to the lycopene content of tomatoes.
In fact the very latest research indicates that the protective potential of lycopene to reduce cancer rates was probably over rated or made from flawed research and tomatoe intake may have no effect whatsoever on whether or not a person develops cancer. These articles are only a couple weeks old.

Tomatoes are now eaten freely throughout the world, and their consumption is believed to benefit the heart among other things. Lycopene, one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, is present in tomatoes, and, especially when tomatoes are cooked, has been found beneficial in preventing prostate cancer.[4] However, other research contradicts this claim. [5] Tomato extract branded as Lycomato is now also being promoted for treatment of high blood pressure. [6]
tomatos have antioxidents that are beneficial to the body-I don't know if they heal cancer, but they certainly are healthy.
