THE POWER OF LYCOPENE: This recipe calls for the use of tomatoes and this is great news. The reason why this is great news is because tomatoes are full of a powerful carotenoid and antioxidant that goes by the name of lycopene. Lycopene can be found in a variety of fruits and vegetables but the tomato has the highest concentrations of this amazing antioxidant. Lycopene is a powerhouse of an antioxidant too, boasting two to three times the antioxidant strength of beta-carotene. Lycopene is a cancer fighting biological warrior and the research shows it.

In 1995 a group of Harvard University researchers conducted a study to see if increasing the amounts of lycopene via the diet could reduce the risk of prostate cancer. The epidemiological study concluded that the men who ate at least 10 servings of tomato based foods per week drastically reduced their risk of disease by 45% and the rest of the men who had 4-7 servings lowered their risk by 20%. The researchers attribute the reduction in risk to lycopene and its antioxidant properties.

All these different herbs offer their own unique signature with regard to medicinal health benefits and they all complement each other offering substantial amounts of nutrients especially B vitamins.

Parsley is amazing for a number of reasons but what makes it unique is that is has a phytochemical called myristicin which is an amazing antioxidant. In fact myristicin has been tested in labs and shown to reduce lung tumors by 65% and stomach tumors by 31%.
