Interesting... thanks for the link. This is stated to be a pilot
study, so now we need a bigger follow-up study to confirm the results.
For several years now I've been eating tomato soup almost daily, and
I'm still suffering from BPH. Of course, that says nothing about what
my symptoms would be without the tomatoes.

Note that lycopene is a fat-soluble substance and is not assimilated
into the body unless fat is consumed too. So eating fresh tomatoes in
general will not provide lycopene. Similarly, taking lycopene pills or
supplements may be useless unless taken with fat. There was a study
some time ago that said adding fat to tomato juice helps uptake... and
so I have been adding grated cheddar cheese to my tomato soup to that
end.

Fat increases the risk of cancer, so don't overdo the fat.

More info needed.
