 Please support a health claim for lycopene and the reduced risk of prostate cancer from its consumption. Drugs and surgery are not the answer for cancer. Putting people through medical and financial trauma is not what we should be doing to our citizens. We need to encourage healthy eating for everyone in every stage of life. If we have a lot of scientific evidence showing that certain foods are especially good at protecting agaist disease we should do everything we can to encourage people to eat those foods! Eating your "food medicine" when you're not sick is so much better than taking a drug medicine when you're already dying.
