A diet full of red vegetables, like tomatoes, apricots, guavas and watermelons may prevent men from developing prostate cancer, according to Barbara Quinn, a nutritionist affiliated with the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. The secret of red vegetables would lie on a substance called lycopene.

These vegetables are very healthy and helpful in general.

I love watermelon, too bad it's racist.

Guava, watermelon, and apricots are also fruits.

It's O.K., as long as you don't have fried chicken in the same meal. 😊

Hmmm, red jalapenos and ghost/scorpion peppers must qualify then.................

When I saw “Red Vegetables” I instantly thought of Senators Sander and Clinton!

The key is lycopene content — fruit or vegetable.

Yes, tomatoes are fruit. Tomatoes, apricots, guavas and watermelons are ALL fruits.

tomato is a fruit.

Botanically yes. So are watermelons. In a broader sense, they both have a vegetative soul, and for over 100 years the Supreme Court has recognized the tomato as a vegetable for legal (tax) purposes (Nix vs. Hedden).

Apricots are red?

Exactly. The first sentence distracted me from reading the rest of the article. If the nutritionist didn’t know that, I am not sure I can trust the rest of what they have to say.

I’M 64 and have eaten this stuff all my life. Guess what?

No cancer./s

Cool!

Using this broader sense we can consider barkie human.

Lycopene for prostate health, is not a secret.

[AndyJackson]

He’s a fruit so we can call him a vegetable, which makes him human?

Hopefully red peppers are on that list - love those things.
