Two compelling reasons to eat tomatoe daily.

Till now I like to eat raw tomato but your discussion really caught my attention on the statement about "the lycopene is found more in cooked or processed tomatoes.". Meaning that, I have to change my habit on tomato intake to the cooked or processed tomato and no more for raw tomatoes. Is that so? Am confused and need more explanation from you and if your have the link related to it, kindly share with me in your quality comment to my response? My second question is, what are the differences between red tomato and green tomato. Which one benefits us more for our tomato type intake?. Not many members know that Quality Comment and Quality Responses does help much to poster's earnings on myLot. You can refer an authentic statement made by myLot in FAQs - Earnings and Payment Information under "How do I increase my earnings" and "How do I calculate my earnings" listed in Item 14 & 15, respectively. Not just say like this way - "Thank you for your response" - which earns nothing. But if elaborate more answers to one response it does help poster's earnings more than normal rate.

Another good reason for men is the lycopene in tomatoes helps to fight prostate cancer so mean should really eat this veggie/fruit whenever possible.

I love tomatoes even before the discovery of lycopene! Of course, I love it more now that I know that it has lots to offer for good health. I often used tomato paste and tomato sauce in preparing dishes, I love lots of tomato based sauce in my spaghetti, I like eating fried fish with tomato dip mixed with fish paste and mango or sour grapes, and I always use tomato ketchup for my fries. My favorite though is eating tomatoes raw with just a pinch of salt.

I actually eat 2 tomatoes a day...Ok sometimes I skip eating tomato, but still I try to make tomato a part of my daily intake. Also it has been known that eating tomatoes daily actually helps prevent prostrate cancer for men.

I love tomatoes and will eat them all summer long, in salads, I will make my own salsa, I love to make bruschetta, and my favorite summer lunch is a plate of cut up tomoato and cottage cheese...it has to be a beef steak tomato, but that is the best summer lunch i can think of next to a greek salad...LOL

I knew I loved tomatoes for a reason. Ever since I was a child I have loved all tomatos and their products tomato paste , tomato sauce , and raw raw raw. I would just as soon eat a fresh picked garden tomato in the summer as a fresh picked apple in the fall. so red on

People should definitely eat tomatoes, but they should also eat as many vegetables as they can, fruits as well.

You are talking to someone who loves Italian, loves lasagna, spaghetti with tomato sauce with or without meatballs. I heard that tomatoes are good for you, and it is good to know that they prevent cancer and slow the growth of tumors. I suppose it was all that spaghetti sauce and tomato soup, etc. I ate that made it so the tumor I had in my br*st was benign and that my husband did not get prostrate cancer like so many men his age.

tomatoes are one of my very favorite things especially in the summer when they are in season. i use them alot to cook with. i should be healthy if that's the case.

I actually like my tomatoes super soft and mushy. I think it tastes better when it is cooked rather than when it's fresh and raw. I also like ketchup. I hear that it's a good source of lycopene, albeit with the added sugar! Anyway, thanks for sharing all these. You must be a health buff huh?!
