　　Men who eat a lot of tomatoes, tomato sauce, or pizza smothered with the stuff may be giving themselves a hedge against prostate cancer. So say researchers at Harvard, who studied the eating habits of more than 47,000 male health professionals.

　　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.

　　研究人员表示，每周吃两至四次番茄酱的男性与不吃的男性相比，其罹患前列腺癌的风险降低了35%。番茄中大量含有一种类胡萝卜素即番茄红素，其所发挥的作用不可小觑。然而令科学家困惑的是，番茄汁不具有类似的功效。
