INTRODUCTION

Lycopene is the most abundant carotenoid present in tomatoes and one of the main carotenoids present in the human diet (1). Lycopene has been of nutritional interest since it was first suggested as having a role in the prevention of prostate cancer (2) and has subsequently been suggested to play a role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (35) and skin cancer (6) and the reduction of oxidative stress (78). These effects have been suggested to be mediated by the antioxidant capacity of the lycopene molecule via signaling effects of lycopene metabolites (19).

I did not know that.  /Johnny Carson

Lots of technical, from a study, and more on the topic here:
