"Naringenin
'in cooked tomatoes]...exerts multiple biological effects... This
bioflavenoid exhibits anti-estrogenic activity that may be responsible for
the decreased incidence of breast cancer in women...'who
consume them.] 'They] could 'also] exert cholesterol-lowering properties...
"Furthermore, naringenin seems to affect different oxidative processes associated with chronic degenerative diseases. 'Among other benefits, it inhibits harmful oxidant processes induced...by ascorbic acid. Naringenin may 'increase]...the primary enzyme involved in the metabolism of many 'harmful chemicals] such as drugs, carcinogens and environmental pollutants.
"The main sources of naringenin are citrus fruits and tomato...
"In conclusion, our study 'tested and] demonstrated naringenin absorption from cooked tomato paste in men. Furthermore, because a recent study showed that lycopene 'in tomatoes] administered with some polyphenols enhances its antioxidant properties, our results support the hypothesis that tomato benefits could be attributed to a positive synergistic action...among lycopene and other ...constituents, such as naringenin, rather than to only lycopene properties." Emphases were added.
DETAILS: This is further backing for the conclusion that whole foods are superior to individual nutrients extracted from them. Pasta sauce, especially when made with no salt added, and containing some fat (usually the case,) is an excellent food. Lycopene, as shown in prior reports is more easily utilized by the body when accompanied by some fat. Further, of course, it is cooked, which also enhances its nutritive value.
MORE DETAILS: Please note the mention of "ascorbic acid." That is vitamin C.
One can take too much of anything, including water. Its called drowning :-)
The current sales push for massive doses of vitamin C could be characterized
as commercial as well as nutritional excess. The popular 1000 milligram
(mg.) pill is over the top. Dr. Linda Chen, the world's leading expert on
vitamin C, and the Head of the Ph.D. Program in Nutrition at Kentucky U.,
cautions against such intakes, and told us that 1000 is high. She prefers
breaking the dosage up, say 250 mg. at a time (or less.)
