Tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, blueberries, and tea are all getting rave reviews these days. Fortunately I like them all, and keep them all in my diet.

Of course, there are other things I eat to undo the good of those, but that's the way life is. <g>

What is Lycopene? Does V8® vegetable juice contain Lycopene? Lycopene is a natural antioxidant found primarily in tomatoes and tomato products. It gives tomatoes their red color. Research suggests that diets rich in tomatoes and tomato products may have long-term health benefits. V8® 100% vegetable juice contains 17mg of lycopene per 8-ounce serving, four times the amount found in a medium-sized tomato.

Lycopene, a carotenoid in the same family as beta carotene, is what gives tomatoes, and several other fruits, their deep red color. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that has shown benefits in potentially reducing the risk for prostate cancer, and perhaps other cancers. Preliminary studies indicate that lycopene appears to protect against cancer of the cervix, mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, colon and rectum.
