October 18, 2004 – A research team from the US National Cancer Institute and the National Public Health Institute of Finland recently released a study that highlighted the association between fruit and vegetable consumption and stomach health. The Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta Carotene (ATBC) study looked at approximately 29,000 male smoker participants, aged 50 to 69, in Finland. This study provides further evidence that shows that vitamin C intake and fruit consumption may be linked to increased stomach health.

The study also shows that lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes, could have a protective effect on the stomach. Lycopene, which is already associated with breast and prostate health, also appeared to lower the chances of stomach problems by 34 per cent, although the researchers note that this needs further research.
