Tomatoes are good for you for all kinds of reasons - and one of the main ones is they're rich in lycopene which gives tomatoes their red colour. It's an antioxidant and is thought to protect against cancer, in particular prostate cancer. 番茄有益人体健康，原因多样--主要是因为番茄富含番茄红素，所以呈现出红色。番茄红素是一种抗氧化剂，人们认为它可以预防癌症，尤其是前列腺癌。 Interestingly lycopene can be more readily utilised by the body if the tomatoes are cooked and especially if they're concentrated, like when you make a pasta sauce, or in the form of ketchup！ 有意思的是，若番茄处于煮熟的，尤其是浓缩的状态（比如做意大利面酱或番茄酱的时候），番茄红素更容易被人体吸收。 |
