Recent studies have shown that consumption of tomatoes can increase the level of hormones that play an important role in the metabolism of sugar and fat in the body . A diet rich in tomato intake cuts risk of breast cancer in women who are potentially affected by cancer .
The study, published in the journal Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism showed that women who were randomly assigned to eat tomatoes and tomato products of food ( containing 25 milligrams of lycopene per day ) , increased levels of hormones that regulate metabolism or adiponectin .
" The benefits of eating lots of tomatoes and tomato -based products , even in the short term , is a testament to our findings , " said researcher Adana Llanos , assistant professor of epidemiology at Rutgers University .
He continued , " Eating fruits and vegetables , which are rich in essential nutrients , vitamins , minerals , and phytochemicals such as lycopene , showed significant benefit . "
This study also shows an increase in adiponectin levels may help prevent breast cancer . It is associated with obesity were identified as risk factors for breast cancer .
" Based on these data , we believe that regular consumption of fruit and vegetable servings recommended appropriate can be a form of breast cancer prevention in people who are potentially affected by cancer , " said Llanos .
The study involved 70 postmenopausal women at high risk of developing breast cancer . They have a body mass index ( BMI ) of 25 to 42 , which indicates overweight and obesity . Respondents also had a history of breast cancer in her family .
In the first two weeks , these women did not eat tomatoes or soy , and other products based on both of these vegetables . After that , they started eating tomatoes for 10 weeks . Two weeks later they again do not eat tomatoes or soy and its products . Then , after they eat 40 grams of soy protein for 10 weeks .
After 10 weeks on a diet of tomatoes , researchers found that adiponectin levels increased by nine percent . The increase in this hormone higher in women who have a lower BMI . Other evidence suggests , adipocentin levels tended to decrease after the female respondents eating soy products for 10 weeks .
" It is not known clearly about the decrease in adiponectin after soy intervention in this study . Further research is needed to clarify this matter , " wrote the researchers .
The researchers also noted that although this study focused on the benefits of lycopene in tomatoes , it is possible that other phytochemicals in tomatoes also have many benefits . To prove it , there needs to be further research on the benefits of the tomato .
