Tomato soup ‘boosts fertility’-Health/Science-The Times of India — This lycopene propaganda began about three years ago. I love tomatoes so I’m good with it. Although it should be noted that lycopene only becomes potent if the tomatoes are cooked.

Craving for something sweet and sour at the same time? Don’t think twice. Just have a bowl of spicy and creamy tomato soup to satisfy your desire.

Yes, a bowl of hot tomato soup every day can boost fertility among men, according to scientists. Researchers at the UK-based University of Portsmouth have discovered that lycopene, which gives tomatoes their bright red colouring, can turn sperm into super-sperm, sources reported. The conclusion came after the researchers studied the effect of lycopene in the diet on a group of six healthy men, all in their early forties.
