Fact is, that prostate cancer will hit just about every man if he lives long enough. What can men do about it?
There are 3 most effective things in prevention of prostate cancer:
1. Diet low in saturated fat
2. Exercise
Now, it gets interesting:
3. Cooked tomato products
The national institute for health research shows that the risk of developing prostate cancer is as much as 45% lower in men who frequently eat foods that contain cooked tomatoes or tomato paste.
While the key ingredient may be the folate, some believe the cancer fighter comes in the form of lycopene, a substance found in tomato products. Spaghetti sauce is the optimal food for lycopene and tomato sauce contains that as well.
To get the optimum amount of lycopene ( 400 milligrams per week) you’d have to eat 160 raw tomatoes or 16 cooked ones. But you need only 11 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce or even less of tomato sauce or paste. Spaghetti sauce contains little bit of fat too, which is great for good absorption of lycopene.
