　　男人吃大量的番茄、番茄醬或者涂有大量番茄醬的披薩餅，都可以起到預(yù)防前列腺癌的功效。哈佛的研究人員在研究了47000多名健康職業(yè)男性的飲食習(xí)慣后得出了上述結(jié)論。

　　They found that men who ate tomato sauce two to four times per week had a 35 percent lower risk of developing prostate cancer than men who ate none. A carotenoid called lycopene, which tomatoes contain in abundance, appeared to be responsible. But scientists were puzzled: tomato juice didn't seem to have a protective effect.
