Significant Review Article Affirms Health Benefit Result from Tomato Phytonutrient Synergy
Basu A, Imrhan V, Tomatoes versus lycopene in oxidative stress and carcinogenesis: conclusions from clinical trials, Eur J Clin Nutr. 2006 Aug 16.
The authors of this review of human clinical trials, were interested in assessing the effects of lycopene containing, tomato product supplementation on biomarkers of oxidative stress and carcinogenesis. Their review concludes that consumption of processed tomato products containing lycopene is of significant health benefit and can be attributed to a combination of naturally occurring nutrients in tomatoes. Lycopene, the main tomato carotenoid, contributes to this effect.

Tomato-Broccoli Synergy Benefits Prostate
Canene-Adams K, Lindshield BL, Wang S, Jeffery EH, Clinton SK, Erdman JW Jr., Combinations of tomato and broccoli enhance anti-tumor activity in dunning r3327-h prostate adenocarcinomas Cancer Res. 2007 Jan 15;67(2):836-43.

In this animal study, researchers demonstrated not only that tomato and broccoli had a therapeutic effect on prostate cancer in rats, but importantly, that the combination of tomato and broccoli in the diet was more effective at slowing tumor growth than either tomato or broccoli alone. This finding supports the public health recommendations to increase the intake of a variety of plant components in order to maximize the benefits of phytonutrients, and particularly, antioxidants.

This summary of the published literature concerns the efficiency of action of systemic and topical applications of antioxidant substances, such as carotenoids and vitamins, on human skin. Skin treatment via dietary supplementation with antioxidant substances for cosmetic purposes yielded positive cosmetic effects as well as no effects, but almost no side effects, apart from a number of allergic reactions. Topical application of antioxidant substances as a cosmetic answer to skin protection and aging also yielded positive results.
