Eat ketchup

Lycopene, the carotenoid found in tomatoes, may reduce the risk of prostate cancer by inhibiting the male hormone’s effect on the prostate, report researchers from DSM this week, writes Dominique Patton.

Their study, carried out on a rat model, is the first to support this mechanism and could be a major breakthrough in understanding the substantial epidemiological evidence linking lycopene to a lower risk of prostate cancer.

ketchup or any cooked tomatoes is better than raw tomatoes as for lycopen

and tomatoes contain just a little of fructose

ketchup has quite a bit of sugar, no? everything has a trade-off.

Ketchup is more concentrated then tomatoes in lycopene. Even though this is a nice study, don't go hogwild on ketchup as the calories WILL add up. I'm not 100%, but ketchup might also contain HFCS

I didn't mean regular ketchup of course

more tomatoe paste (just tomatoes and salt w/o any crap)

I have seen a study where they said that many lycopene supps were less effective than "real food"

.... and I love cooked tomatoes
