One medium-sized tomato provides about half of the U.S. recommended daily allowances of vitamin C and 20 percent of vitamin A, some of which is in the form of betacarotene. Betacarotene is an antioxidant, associated with a reduced risk of certain cancers. Tomatoes also contain the antioxidant lycopene. A study conducted by Harvard University researchers found that men who ate lycopene-rich diets of tomatoes and tomato products had a much lower risk of developing certain cancers, especially prostate cancer. Tomatoes are also a good source of dietary fiber, containing about as much as a slice of whole wheat bread.
