Why cooked tomatoes are a better choice than raw ones

The article discusses the nutritional benefits of cooked tomatoes compared to raw ones, focusing on lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes. It explains that cooked tomatoes may offer greater health benefits because lycopene is more easily absorbed by the body when heated. The article references a study published in the 'Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism' suggesting that lycopene may reduce risks associated with obesity, heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. It also notes that not all tomato varieties are rich in lycopene, emphasizing red varieties for maximum benefit.
