Lycopene, the most powerful carotenoid antioxidant, was found in a recent study to be 100 times more effective at scavenging free radicals than vitamin E and other anti-oxidants. It is also effective in preventing brain inflammation and degeneration caused by free radicals, preventing depression and Alzheimer (see the six studies below), besides lowering the risk of cancer, heart disease, macular degeneration, skin aging, oxidative stress, diabetes. This is important for those who want to stay sharp in old age and keep their cognitive and telepathy abilities in shape.:) Lycopene was detected in high concentrations in the eye ciliary body and retinal pigment epithelium ► http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12424324. The 3 richest natural sources of lycopene are watermelon (4532 times more lycopene than carrots), tomatoes (about half the lycopene in watermelon) and pink grapefruit.

►►► RICHEST NATURAL SOURCES OF LYCOPENE ◄◄◄

The 3 richest natural sources of lycopene contain in 100 grams (raw, uncooked) the following amounts of lycopene in mcg or μg (1 μg = 1 mcg = a millionth of a gram or 1 microgram)

1. Watermelon 4532 μg ► http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fruits-and-fruit-juices/2072/2 see also the watermelon post at https://plus.google.com/+AlexPsi/posts/BbHFjRRZBU1

2. Tomatoes 2573 μg ► http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2682/2, see also the tomato post at https://plus.google.com/+AlexPsi/posts/hWuj5FuiG2K

3. Pink Grapefruit 1419 μg ► http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fruits-and-fruit-juices/1905/2, see also the grapefruit post at https://plus.google.com/+AlexPsi/posts/YZxtp16UF1x

## Carrots (ultra low, for comparison only) 1 μg ► http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2383/2

ALZHEIMER:

Lycopene, the most powerful carotenoid anti-oxidant (100 times more effective at fighting free radicals than vitamin E in vitro or in a test tube), was very effective in lowering depression (probably because oxidative stress causes depression via free radicals damaging the brain) ► https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22840609 ► J Affect Disord. 2013 Jan 10;144(1-2):165-70

Lycopene prevents Alzheimer by preventing Amyloid [Beta] Induced Mitochondrial Oxidative Stress ► https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26816095 ► Neurochem Res. 2016 Jun;41(6):1354-64

Lycopene is effective against Alzheimer beta amyloid plaque ► https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22044877 ► Neurosci Lett. 2011 Nov 21;505(3):286-90

High levels of lycopene in the blood lowers the risk of dying from Alzheimer (the same is true for high blood levels of lutein and its isomer zeaxanthin, found in leafy greens, zukini, in large quantities). Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Accumulating evidence shows that antioxidant-rich food reduces the risk of Alzheimer by inhibiting oxidative stress. ► https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24247062 ► Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord. 2014;37(3-4):246-56.

Lycopene blood levels are low in people with Alzheimer. Lycopene prevents oxidative damage and protects neurons in several Alzheimer disease models ► https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26453763 ► Neurosci Lett. 2015 Nov 3;608:28-33.
