하루에 사과 한 알을 먹어면 의사를 비웃는다는 속담이 있다. 그렇다면 도마토를

카로틴 선구 물질로 붉은 결정체인 리코핀을 갖고 있으며 이는 체내에서 종합할 수

없잖아요. 카로틴은 수박 살구 붉은 포도에 많이 포함되어 있고 평소에는 스파게티

A Tomato a Day?

Posted by Cheryl Koch, R.D. on Sun, Mar 19, 2006, 3:00 pm PST

Remember that old adage about an apple a day keeping the doctor away? Well, how about a tomato a day?

Many researchers believe that tomatoes may contain key anti-cancer properties in the form of lycopene,

a powerful antioxidant.

Because the body cannot synthesize lycopene, we must consume it as part of a balanced diet if we are to reap

its rewards. You'll find lycopene primarily in tomato products; other sources include watermelon, pink grapefruit,

and apricots. To get cancer-protective benefits, researchers suggest consuming 5 to 10 servings of tomato-based

products a week. Dietitians generally recommend fresh and whole foods as the best sources of nutrients

but with lycopene, you'll get even more benefits if it the tomato has been cooked.

Lycopene is available in supplement form but most research has focused on its dietary consumption. For this reason, researchers are still unsure of the optimal dose and the risks vs. benefits of lycopene supplements. Your best bet is

to consume lycopene-rich foods routinely. Spaghetti sauce and tomato soup, both rich in lycopene, are two worthwhile additions to your diet.
