After reviewing dozens of studies evaluating lycopene, tomato, or tomato product intake and cancer risk, the US FDA has concluded that the cancer fighting benefits of lycopene and tomatoes have been greatly exaggerated. While lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes and other red fruits, does seem to slightly reduce the risk of prostate, ovarian, gastric, and pancreatic cancers, these findings indicate it has no effect on the risk of lung, breast, cervical, endometrial, or colorectal cancer.
