Study: Tomatoes no defense against prostate cancer

Anyone else wondering if we know anything at all?

Study: Tomatoes no defense against prostate cancer:
"The FDA-approved and popularly held notion that antioxidants in tomatoes can prevent prostate cancer appears to be false, according to a large study done by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and National Cancer Institute.

'It was an hypothesis based on observational studies and the fact that cancer can be caused by oxidative damage to DNA,' said Ulrike Peters, a Fred Hutchinson scientist and lead author on the report published in the current journal of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention."
