- High doses of lycopene-the red pigment in tomatoes-were put to the test to see if it could prevent precancerous prostate lesions from turning into full-blown cancer.

As a side note, this is a brilliant resource against supplementation abuse Dr. Greger. Thanks as always!. It doesn't matter that you don't bother to read this comments. Which is rather wise!
Mario why is it wise?
Well Doodle you dont know greger much. He advised B12 and D supplementation, also eventually DHA.
I eat like a pound of cherry tomatoes every day and I have no prostate.... I think I am save for sure.... lol
The solution is not taking only pills for supplements alone. For instance I know some one who have had signs of Prostate Enlargement (BPH) and started eating a lot of vegetables in his diet - basically eating salads everyday for lunch ,then combine that with lycopene supplements and it has worked because his symptoms have disappeared . So basically combine a vegetable rich diet with supplements and it will work and not create imbalance in your body .
This is on prostate cancers but what of pbh symptoms. a doctor said 500 mg lycopene supplements showed improvement within weeks to months.
I have heard that eating cooked tomatoes is more beneficial to your health. Anyone else know about this?
totally true ,or sauce or paste
Don't eat pills, eat whole plant foods 🍎🍏🍊🍋🍄🍅🍆🍇🍈🍉🍐
Ok from now on I will only eat whole B12 vitamins!!
Lichtblick I agree! Isolated mineral or vitamin supplements are not helpful, but harmful. They are extracted and lab made mixed in with chemicals. I used to take many them and was getting more sick. Now I just take b12 and rely on all my other nutrients from fruits and vegetables. Feeling much better. Isolated supps don't heal the body wholistically just supress some symptoms
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) is a complex cobalt-based organic compound that is produced naturally only by bacteria, especially those that are anaerobic (e.g., environments that lack oxygen such as large intestine). Animals, plants, or fungi don't have the enzymes to produce B12.
spread this information and finally just stfu please.

In other words it tomatoes & carrots among other healthy fruit & vegetables instead of supplements pills
I'll stick to tomato sauce, my Mom fed it to my Dad at least once a week for about 60 years & even though he had BPH he never got cancer of any kind.
Summarizing: take half a coup of tomate sauce with olive oil daily
Astounding stuff Doctor. Thank you for your continuous research and contributions to our well-being.
I wonder how the supplement companies are allowed to sell lethal stuff if they are already proven to cause damage?? What's wrong with people willing to spend lot more on supplements but not enough of real foods?
More deadly isolated nutrients, it must be a clue.... - Though not one the industry seems to pick up on...
Oh, they've picked up on it long ago. There is no money in pharmaceuticals by telling someone to go eat the food itself though. Gotta be able to stick it in a pill.
Great video! What about the effectiveness of lycopene from cooked versus raw vegetables such as tomatoes??
You need to make a series of videos on the "benefits" of supplements, sometimes you make it sounds as though there can't be any, aside from B12 & D3. Glucoraphanin + Myrosinase (Sulforaphane), compared to broccoli/spouts-seeds, for example.
I always knew pizza was good for you!
4:45 Putting phytochemicals in ice cream, alcohol and other bad foods to “make them healthy” is the same logic of putting broccoli sprouts on a turd sandwich to "make it healthy."
IT also takes care of your PBH. If you are over 60.
interesting topic and video - nice work.
Fascinating! I especially liked the line graphs of the beta-carotene & lycopene dosage/cancer-frequency shown side by side. The mystery of why studies were coming out completely contradicting the expected results . . .
Just goes to show that the old assumption that “If one pill 💊 is good then 10 must be 10x better” obviously is not necessarily always true.
It is also important to remember that this dovetails rather nicely with those many studies that show that low caloric intake - even when it causes nutritional deficiencies (& thus other health problems) - nonetheless has always correlated with LESS cancer.
PS: Actually I should have emphasized that a low calorie diet is also correlated with greater longevity - not just less cancer. This is evident in both human & animal studies. (This edit was added a hour or two after the original post).
Wow thx man. Nature always better.
Putting beneficial plant compunds in carcinogens? Absurd. Whoever nwrote that statment needs to rethink their career.
Keep up the good work Dr Greger :)
maybe if he was not biased and did not have an agenda of his own
It is fall 2021presently, and most reputable doctors on YT are still recommending lycopene overwhelmingly for Prostate health. I wonder if there are any new studies at this time that show the benefit of taking Lycopene supplementation? This video is having me concerned in regards to my Lycopene lyc-o-mato supplements. Advice anyone?
Lycopene has solid research behind it! Just like most things don't over do it
thank you
here a brain twister : you need to eat a pound of broccoli, or a concentrate pill or daily... which one you think people will prefer ?
YOU Sir - are a Hawking Hero.
Hi
Interesting video. Is there any similar information regarding other items in supplement form being not as good for us. For example tumeric in tablet form as opposed to taken in it's root form. keep up the great work Dr Greger!!
No because carcumen, the active ingredient in turmeric is dreadfully insoluble and by definition not bioavailible. The scientific community is so hard pressed to prove any notable anti inflammatory efficacy in relatively healthy humans , current studies are using nano technology to hyper-emulsify ultra pure samples and they still can’t get it to work as much as baby aspirin. Thus, it remains eternally in supplimental status and is still illegal to make direct health claims about it, even though everyone says it works all the time . Only works in extreme cases , limited terminal chronic disease cases and on ultra extreme athletes with unusually high inflammation in muscles , tendons and joints. Quit wasting your money. Or use it topically in an oil extract directly on your skin. More proof of that working. Like tiger balm.
None of those studies were Lycopene alone so it doesn't say anything. It could've been the other supplement the participants took and not lycopene
So, a whole food vegan diet strikes again. Tomatoes plus green tea, looks like we're lookin' pretty safe lads.
It's criminal to allow for supplements if they cause health problems
Very interesting, my father who has prostate cancer is on a whole food plant based nutrition now but is also taking other supplements like barley grass, turmeric and a certain prostate support supplement that contains lycopene, saw palmetto stinging nettle pumpkin seeds and phytosterols, im getting worried now, i hope this supplement wont make him worse, he does say he feels some improvement
Some of the research he points to used synthetic supplements and not their natural form . I hope your dad survived? ✌️❤
Is consuming canned Tomato Paste OK? Of course in a new, Non BPA can lining some tomato paste company's are decent enough to provide for caring consumers. But, does Dr. G ever talk about too much Citric Acid in the delicious cans of Tomato Paste? Luckily, I love Tomato Paste, (In Cans) and for different health reasons, eat and really enjoy it. But is too much Citric Acid in anyway unhealthy? I can't find Dr. G commenting on it......Thanks friends!
how many mg is 3um?
If there are any med students watching Dr Greger's videos interested in plant-based nutrition(and I'm sure there are), please look up Vegan Medical Students group on Facebook and join our small, but growing, community! Cheers
Is Tomato Paste OK and safe to eat?..........Tomato Paste. Or is it too concentrated??
they could just put almonds in the chocolate ice cream, or more strawberries in strawberry ice cream.
I dont suggest eating pizza
Dear dr Greger, the part you are showing from min 0:30 is very misleading, and in fact really wrong. You are showing data in Table 1, which is just reporting the molar extinction coefficients of the chemicals investigated in that study. Molar extinction coefficients are used here just to determine the concentrations of those chemical in solution, they have nothing to do with their antioxidant properties (which are shown instead in Table 2, not shown here).
One table spoon of tomato paste every morning Will do the trick.
ok
@A G You can buy a 31 oz. can for less than $2.00..
I actually sometime s. did 3 ot. 4
@Aldo Sanguinety most men past 50 develop prostate cancer but if it's not the aggressive type, they usually die of something else. They are told to just watch it, don't do anything rash. Whole food plant based diet would be of great benefit. Also do some research on fasting. You will discover that it is another solution for beating cancer.
Also eliminate coffee (no more than 12oz a day) and try to drink green tea instead. When making green tea heat water to luke warm, let soak for extra time. Heating anything past 118 degrees destroys enzymes, do not boil. !!!!!
I hope the last part never happens!!!
I ment BPH
Too much of a good thing almost always is too much.
So...what does this actually mean?
it means, go with food not supplements.
Or... just stop eating bacon and ice cream and eat whole plant foods instead, and go vegan while you're at it.
I love Jewish people
damn, they sure are trying
So eat lots of pizza! Avoid the supplements . Eat the whole plant based food!
Really? The supplements with the recommended daily allowances RDA generally used in each scientific study ....I wonder were they the common cheap synthetic vitamins and minerals -or the nutrient dense ones from highly reputable , sources (with excellent quality control labs )ensuring the live ingredients are intact ?
Carol Cookey Did you listen to the whole video? If the concentration is too high, it fucks up the body's natural defences. Doesn't matter then if it is excellent quality. It is too concentrated.
Why not just consume the intact vegetables instead of seeking a pill solution?
Mats Mathisen this is exactly my point - hence the reputable sources I mentioned .... reread my comment
flyshacker Hi, because of continued soil depletion in many of the world’s “agribusiness”farming practices , artificial fertilizers ,pesticide use , prolonged storage/ transit periods , premature harvesting etc . Simply Because food isn’t what it use to be . Organic Farming , Biodynamic Farming , love the ideas and I believe we will get there eventually.
Pls check out Dr. Mercola’s article / interview with Elisabeth Candelario on “Biodynamic Farming on the Environment and Food Quality” and pls tell me what you think
mercola.fileburst.com/PDF/ExpertInterviewTranscripts/Interview-Candelario-TheEffectsOfBiodynamicFarmingOnTheEnvironmentAndFoodQuality.pdf
... spread the news ; in the meantime food first , then take a whole food supplement to bridge the gap
I'm sorry to say I thought that was a very verbose article with a lot of posturing. I'm completely on board with going "beyond organic", and I do that in my own vegetable garden. But there was not one word in the article, that I could find, that supported pill supplements in lieu of whole plant nutrition. Dr. Greger is showing repeatedly that supplements tend to be harmful, with the notable exceptions of Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and vegan Omega-3 EPA/DHA supplements for people on a WFPB diet. It doesn't matter that the live ingredients are intact. Dr. Greger's whole thesis is that intact food from whole plants with all the natural proportions of phytochemicals and fiber are the most beneficial for us.
It seems natural for Prostate cancer patients to gravitate towards the nearest bar. If only they knew the bar has the best cure in a Bloody Mary.
vaccine video? :)
Vaccines and GMO are never discussed by Dr Greger. I'd like to hear him on the topics.
He is reading a study about beta carotene and he is adding lycopene to the study; he is making things up and using a study the wrong way
unless the supliments are actually nothing more than petroleum products lol
How bout making your own tomato capsules with tomato powder?
I'm not crazy about tomato's taste...and eating it everyday...like anything else can get tiring.
In summary: EAT FRESH WHOLE FOODS, NOT THEIR SUPPLEMENTS.
is listening to nutrition facts liking to hear good news about our habits? I mean, most of us just listen and believe it and don't read ,examine the topic of food science to understand it totally on a molecular level what's going on
Good point to be honest. It's good to stay critical.
+ Zuy Jojoboy You don't have to like it, you just have to say " that's what the science says right now". Do the best you can with what you know.
Vladimir Yuvachov critical yeah and to understand what's given to us before me take it because if we can't explain something 100% it's not something we know but what we believe in, am I thinking right?
and if we can't explain something we don't understand it ourselves, it's then a believe
Ernest Maldonado what I mean is that: did you for example read all those medical literatures and did the studies, analysis and lab work / what bothers me is that we couldn't explain it ourselves if someone would ask us how it works
I thought tomatoes were nightshades and caused inflammation?
LL Lewis false. People base entire diets on members of the nightshade family and they reduce inflammation. Potatoes tomatoes eggplant and peppers are some to name a few
Closing the Loop interesting is there data on this anywhere? I been avoiding night shades for months
LL Lewis I was developing problems because of bananas. Ends up the chemicals they were applying to the bananas was the problem. I started buying bananas at whole foods and it's entirely better. Maybe it's a similar story for you? Maybe you're having a reaction to the pesticides found on many nightshades available on the market.
Closing the Loop wow i never thought of that. Interesting. So i try organic tomatoes not reg tomatoes from walmart meijers etc
LL Lewis yeah tomatoes and eggplants and different soft-skinned fruit and vegetables , they are part of what they call The Dirty Dozen because the chemicals are able to infiltrate the tomatoes themselves or the fruit itself more readily than other hard bodied fruit and veggies. Look up dirty dozen. Those are the ones you should focus on buying organically
Lycopene XDD
Also, first in the world! Or rather, second!
Well, I'm both! I won.
Mario g
This guy has an agenda
Urgh tomatoes are just so boring fruits.
Tomato paste on toast is pretty good.
Tell that to my pizza, ratatouille, spaghetti sauce, salsa dip, taco filling, etc.
There are like thousands of varieties. All colours of the rainbow. Even ones that taste like strawberry. There is a whole cult about tomato seed selection.
