It is indeed enlightening to know that the food we eat has a very powerful effect on us. We hear the saying “we are what we eat” and that might well be very true. Here you will find another article I got from my email on how tomato and watermelon can help certain cancers. Here goes:

NEW prostate-protecting champ trumps tomatoes!

Unless you’ve been asleep under a rock for the past decade, you’ve heard the news about tomatoes. They contain a potent antioxidant called lycopene that’s been proven to reduce the risk of certain cancers — in particular, prostate cancer.

A famous Harvard study back in 1995 found that out of 48,000 men surveyed, those who ate 10 or more servings of tomatoes a week reduced their risk of prostate cancer by more than one-third. What’s more, they lowered their risk of aggressive prostate tumors (the kind that are really tough to treat) by HALF!

But before you reach for that slice of pizza or bottle of ketchup, listen up. What if I told you about a sweet, refreshing food Dr. Steven Pratt recommends that’s even better for your prostate than tomatoes?

This NEW prostate protecting champ is watermelon! Ounce for ounce, watermelon is even richer in lycopene than tomatoes. And since you probably eat more watermelon in one sitting than you do tomatoes, you don’t have to gorge on it 10 times a week in order to slash your cancer risk! Just a few times a week should do it.
