"To gain optimal lycopene power eat concentrated sources of tomatoes. tomato juice is a good source, but it must be mixed with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Plain sun dried tomatoes or, preferably, sun dried tomatoes in olive oil provide a huge supply of lycopene. tomato paste is another option, but be sure to mix it in a bit of extra virgin olive oil before consuming. If you are exposed to toxic chemicals, eat a can of tomato paste blended with two tablespoons of olive oil per day. This tomato paste cocktail is perhaps the most convenient and powerful of all lycopene "supplements"." - Dr. Cass Ingram, Dr. Cass Ingram's Lifesaving Cures (Get the book.)

By consuming forty grams of tomato paste daily for ten weeks, you can increase sunburn-resistance time by 40%.26 Eating other tomato-based products has also been shown to significantly reduce sunburn,27 and topically applied lycopene (a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes) is also effective in preventing skin damage by UV.28 Dr. Michael Holick's book, The UV advantage, has helpful charts that link latitude, skin types and time of year to the body's ability to produce vitamin D." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"Men who ate 10 servings a week of tomatoes and tomato sauce on pizzas had 45% less cancer of the prostate than those eating no tomatoes. Surprisingly, tomatoes on pizza seemed more beneficial than raw tomato, suggesting that heating the tomato paste increases the anticancer effect. This study confirms previous studies of Mediterreanean people, who showed that they had one of the lowest rates of prostate cancer. Afro-Americans eat few tomatoes and they had the highest rate of prostate cancer." - James A. Howenstine, MD, A Physician's Guide To Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"According to one Harvard Medical School study, men may want to favor a diet that is low in fat, high in red-orange vegetables and high in lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes and tomato sauces.

"You can't take a tomato and patent that tomato, then restrict it from the population and make sure it can only be prescribed through pharmacies. Of course, certain hybrid tomatoes can be patented, but those are more along the lines of scientific experiments than ordinary, everyday garden tomatoes that I'm talking about here. The point is that these healing foods — like broccoli, garlic and onions — can't be patented. So the pharmaceutical companies cannot own the intellectual property that's at stake here." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Garden tomato Complexion Soap ($8 for a 4 ounce bar) has tomato powder but that's of little consequence in a drying bar soap, and lycopene (the red pigment in tomatoes) has no ability to balance skin's pH as claimed. © Orange Essence Facial Cleanser ($8 for 4.34 ounces) has more than orange essence; it irritates skin with orange and rosemary oils and is not recommended.

"Here again, she refuses his comments and his offer of tomato soup, because it "disagrees" with her. One wonders if the offering of chocolate and tomato soup functioned as possible literal or symbolic suggestions for better health. Or perhaps the whole interaction indicates a difficulty accepting health suggestions? While it seems nearly impossible to know the symbolic meaning of an individual's lucid dream, another lucid dreamer tries the same projective technique in a search for greater health.

A 6-year Harvard study of 48,000 male physicians found that men who consumed tomato-rich foods (tomatoes, tomato sauce, and pizza) at least ten times a week, had a 35 percent decreased risk of prostate cancer as compared with those men who had less than a serving-and-a-half of those high-lycopene servings every week.

"For example, it is possible to buy tomato soup that contains no tomatoes, but, in appearance and flavor, would lead one to believe that it is really tomato soup. It is possible to buy overly processed cheese that has little of the original cheese in it, and overly processed fish or crab that appears to be crab. Only the bad odor before it is fried will give it away. It is possible to buy overly processed turkey that is turkey protein pressed out to look like slices of real turkey meat but isn't. These artifacts are dangerous because they are made to look and to taste like food." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.)
