The tomato is the fruit you seek. Here are some clips to explain my answer! Are tomatoes fruits or vegetables? The answer to this question is an interesting bit of tomato trivia. Technically a tomato is a fruit, since it is the ripened ovary of a plant. But in 1893 the supreme court ruled in the case of "NIX v. HEDDEN" tomatoes were to be considered vegetables. Why are tomatoes so valuable to the diet? Lycopene, a potent antioxidant found in tomatoes appears to offer a reduced risk of cancer. Lycopene is what gives tomatoes their red color. You may already know about earlier research linking lycopene with reduced risk to heart attack and prostate cancer in men. The beneficial link between reduced cancer risk and processed tomatoes is reported in a series of published articles appearing in the June 1998 "Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine". One study found that Mediterranean diets featuring tomato products were linked with lower risk of cancer and heart disease for people living and eating in that region of the world. Here's the point. A little lycopene can't hurt. And, because your body doesn't produce it, you have to consume the tomato products. A number of other studies, according to the Tomato Council, demonstrate that lycopene helps reduce more than just cancer. For example, Carlo La Vecchia at the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan, Italy reported additional benefits in his study titled "Mediterranean Epidemiological Evidence on Tomatoes and the Prevention of Digestive-Tract Cancers"
