  1. The chemical is lycopene. But there is no proof it will prevent cancer. A healthy diet, including a lot of vegetables and whole grains Might be one way to Lessen the chances of cancer. It’s like a lot of fiber can lessen the chances of colon cancer, but it’s not 100%. And foods do not cure cancer if somebody develops it.

    None really. If you want to prevent cancer, of any part of the body, you need a food that transforms your body into a more alkiline state. something like dark green vegitables. Cancer is found in the acidic tissue, where dead cells do not necessarily die, but become abnormal and irregular. This promotes the chances of cancer cells becoming less dormant and becoming abnormal. The less of an acid producing body you have, the less chance of cancer forming. The same is thought if you already have cancer. kemo is not always enough, but consuming foods that leave your body with a more base pH, the better your chances of preventing your cancer from spreading to another area and growing. Also, habbits that get your body producing alkine, such as colder showers instead of warm ones. Anything that gets your nerves jolting will cause your body to raise its pH level.
    A long time ago, Dr. Otto Warburg won a nobel peace prize for proving that cancer is anaerobic; meaning they thrive only in a low-oxygen state. Alkaline tissue holds 20 times more oxygen than does acidic tissue.

  3. It’s just an old wive’s tale.
    And as for the person who said “it’s a theory, unproven” A theory is the highest possible level of proven-ness in science. A law states something, but a theory explains it, theories have the most authority in science.

  4. I cannot answer your question as to a chemical reaction. I have heard that the only way to help men with prostate trouble is the operation performed with a lazer knife, or with aglantine capsules taken once a day. bern

  5. The magic stuff is lycopene….http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?i…

  7. It is a theory…unproven.
