You get a "crazy" amount of antioxidants with this one, but it's a seasonal fruit , so eat grapes, cherries and blueberries if you can't get this one

Anonymous 2008-10-09 12:18:42 There is more lycopene in cooked tomatoes than raw. (Canned tomatoes/tomato sauce, for example, are a better source of lycopene than fresh tomatoes.) - Also, tomatoes are a fruit! And, tuna may be a great source of B vitamins, but it also has a lot of mercury in it. Make sure to limit how much tuna you eat, especially if you are pregnant or have young children.
