Tomatos have been shown to protect the skin from both UVA and UVB radiation and protect the body from lead toxicity. Tomatos are most commonly known for their anti-cancer properties, but more specifically, cancers of the breast, colon, liver, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, cervix, and prostate. Tomatos contain one of the most powerful anti-oxidants called lycopene, which is what gives them most of their medicinal benefits.
