Dietary Lycopene may significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, suggests new research, which found that women with the highest levels of the antioxidant in their blood had a 34 per cent reduced risk of the disease compared to those with lower levels of the nutrient."A USA Company, American Longevity, this week extended a list of health claims that it first filed with the Food and Drug Administration last June, requesting approval for claims that Lycopene, tomatoes, and tomato-based products may reduce the risk of numerous cancers, including prostate, lung, gastrointestinal and colorectal and breast cancer."
