Canned Diced Tomatoes Nutrition Could Protect You Against Cancer and Heart Disease

Though they have been blamed for causing inflammation in the past, in fact, they provide protective lycopene nutrients reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease (Bulsiewicz, 2020). As a prebiotic, tomatoes–both raw and cooked–contribute important microbacteria including Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium bifidum (Hyperbiotics). These bacteria along with other antioxidants holistically support your microbiome (Hyperbiotics)!

While both raw and cooked tomatoes contain lycopene, cooking tomatoes better preserves the lycopene nutrients as they digest in our bodies providing us with more antioxidant absorption (Hyperbiotics). And, more antioxidants fuels L. reuteri bacteria a huge contributor to a healthy microbiome! Win-Win.
