A condiment that lowers cancer risk

I always thought that the raw version of vegetables has more health benefits.  Well this case is an exception.

Lower your cancer risk by adding ketchup to your burger!  A tablespoon of this condiment supplies you a healthful dose of lycopene, an antioxidant that guards against various forms of cancer by blocking cell-damaging free radicals. Eating processed tomatoes (such as those in ketchup and tomato sauce) is best; cooking releases lycopene inside the plant cells, making it easier to digest and absorb, reports Steven J. Schwartz, PhD, professor of food science at Ohio State University.
