Prostate Cancer: The Low Down On Lycopene And Prostate Cancer
Have you heard the latest? Apparently lycopene does not prevent prostate cancer.

As I've noted in previously, lycopene is an antioxidant carotenoid that gives tomatoes, watermelons, and pink grapefruit their red colour. Studies have suggested that lycopene may offer protection against prostate cancer, breast cancer, and heart disease.
In a new US study from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, researchers looked for a link between carotenoids and prostate cancer risk. They began with data collected from an eight-year trial in which blood samples were taken from more than 28,000 men over the age of 55 who were cancer free. The Hutchinson team focused on nearly 700 subjects who developed prostate cancer and compared them to more than 840 subjects in the study who remained healthy.
Results showed that a higher blood serum level of lycopene was not associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. The data also revealed an association between high levels of beta-carotene and aggressive prostate cancer.
