Foods containing lycopene
(includes grapefruit, red peppers and spiny bitter gourd)

Lycopene is a natural compound and one of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. Lycopene is the reason for the deep red hue of some natural foods.

Unlike numerous other vitamins, this useful phytochemical is not damaged if it is cooked, instead it is essentially increased in efficacy by being cooked.

. Its most interesting nutritional contribution is that it behaves as an antioxidant and is believed to help to reduce the risks of contracting cancer.

Lycopene is the most efficacious carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also thought to curtail the progression of atherosclerosis.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
