Preventing Cancer with Licopene

Ketchup lovers know that the best way to get licopene in foods is to eat tomatoes or products that contain tomatoes. There is an interesting catch. Traditionally, you benefit from eating raw foods, but not in this case. You actually get more of the supplement through cooked tomatoes than through raw tomatoes because the element is closely adhered to the fiberous part of the vegetable and can pass right through your system without being absorbed.
