Tomatoes, Tomato-Based Products, Lycopene, and Cancer: Review of the Epidemiologic Literature
TL;DR: The consistency of the results across numerous studies in diverse populations, for case-control and prospective studies, and for dietary-based and blood-based investigations argues against bias or confounding as the explanation for these findings.

The biosynthesis and nutritional uses of carotenoids.
Paul D. Fraser,Peter M. Bramley +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of this article is to review the current understanding of carotenoid formation, to explain the perceived benefits ofcarotenoids in the diet and review the efforts that have been made to increase carotanoids in certain crop plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carotenoids in Photosynthesis
TL;DR: Evidence is presented as to how the carotenoids are organized within both portions of the photosynthetic unit (the light harvesting antenna and the reaction centre) and how they discharge both their functions.
