TL;DR: Evidence suggests that F&V have the strongest effects in relation to prevention of CVDs, noting a nonlinear threshold effect of 800 g per day (i.e., about 5 servings a day).

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that consumption of 100% fruit juice may provide beneficial nutrients without contributing to pediatric obesity in context of a healthy dietary pattern.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of commonly consumed carotenoids including lycopene, β-carotene, lutein, astaxanthin, and fucoxanthin and their roles in neurodegenerative disease models is presented.

TL;DR: Although a protective relation between lycopene and MetS was generally supported, different MetS components appeared to be influenced byLycopene rather than demonstrating consistent improvement in a single component, and additional research is needed to elucidate the mechanistic effects of lycopenes on MetS, as well as to determine evidence-based recommendations concerning dose-durational effects.

TL;DR: There is insufficient evidence and a paucity of data to draw firm conclusions or tease apart direct effects of lycopene, but further investigation into its relationship with cognitive longevity and dementia-related mortality is warranted.
