Antioxidant power combo for prostate cancer prevention

Tomatoes and broccoli are recommended as foods that help prevent prostate cancer thanks to the powerful antioxidants they contain.

Recent research on rats with prostate cancer suggests that consuming tomatoes and broccoli together, rather than separately, may make them even more effective anti-cancer weapons.

While human studies need to confirm the findings, researchers say they support public health recommendations to increase the intake and variety of plant foods.
