Date: August 14, 2009 12:30PM Is it better to cook tomatoes with oil(a healthy one) than eat them raw? The lycopene becomes more readily available when cooked over raw. Re: Lycopene

Date: August 14, 2009 12:34PM well maybe nature does not intend such a high amount of lycopene as can be had via cooking. and perhaps it comes in conjunction with other factors, nutrients, enzymes, that affect it's absorption and utilization in the body that are damaged if heated.
thinking that we can improve on nature's original design is a foolish pursuit, imho. Re: Lycopene

Date: August 14, 2009 01:19PM In cooking school we were taught that rupturing the cell membranes of the tomato through blending, etc., releases bioavailable lycopene. Please remember that clinical research is almost never conducted out of scientific curiosity, but in order to derive a product or contrive a procedure. When investigating nutrients, studies isolate them because that is how they or their adjuncts will be synthesized--isolated from the nutritional matrix of the plant as a whole. The goal is to sell people a pill, not a tomato. Researchers studying things like lycopene think in isolates because their work must result in isolates. We think natural because our lifestyles must result in what is natural : ) Re: Lycopene

Date: August 14, 2009 03:45PM This subject has come up before. Other posters have said several things regarding this:
1. More is not necessarily better. The absorbable amount of lycopene in raw tomato may be just peachy! 
2. There are many other sources of lycopene in raw fruits and vegetables. I think someone said there is more lycopene in watermelon than in tomato. Don't if that's but point is you can increase lycopene intake without eating cooked if you prefer. I think pink grapefruit and cantalope are pretty good sources as well. Best. Paul Re: Lycopene

What few posts you have on this forum have to do with cooked foods. Is there any way the forum can support you with your raw foods exploration? Re: Lycopene

Date: August 15, 2009 12:15AM Factoid that's bullcrap.
This place is for DISCUSSION OF RAW FOOD, not a place for mainly people who like raw food to hang out and answer questions from people who want to hear their "side" of an argument.

Date: August 15, 2009 12:15AM the best way to prove a theory is to try (and fail) to disprove it. that's a scientific standard. it's a good question i think.
and Tamukha, since you went to cooking school where are your uncooking photos missing from the pictures thread? hmmm? Re: Lycopene

It is an odd thing, but I don't make prepared raw foods anymore; I just eat whole fruits and blended greens. Perhaps it will go with me as it is going with you--I'll suddenly develop a passion for making gourmet raw. If that happens, I shall surely post some pics, though nothing so spectacular as yours : ) SuperInfinity, Why must you assume dastardly intentions of people? Note the difference between Bryan's response to the OP and yours: Bryan asks how the forums can help direct this individual to a better understanding of Raw, whereas you taunt and belittle them. A good ambassador you are not, dude. Re: Lycopene
