📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Marinara or spaghetti sauce, which contains tomatoes, may suppress prostate cancer progression by enhancing cell death, with PubMed research demonstrating increased apoptotic cells in prostate carcinomas in a study of patients consuming tomato sauce pasta entrees. Tomatoes are also rich in fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and folate, and their potent antioxidants, including lycopene and beta-carotene, are associated with boosting heart health and potentially lowering the risk of various cancers, including lung, prostate, and stomach cancer, according to Cleveland Clinic.
