Lycopene is the pigment responsible for the red in color of tomatoes. Lycopene consumed in the diet or used as a supplement is controversial in its use for the prevention of prostate cancer. The most recent study included below supports lycopene as having good potential in prevention of prostate cancer which did not relay any evidence of significant harm of this nutrient.

During the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial, lycopene levels were obtained at the same time that finasteride was studied for potential of prostate cancer chemoprevention over the course of 7 years. There was no correlation found between serum lycopene levels and the risk of prostate cancer. (15)
