Answers:
Keep in mind that its not the size of the food you are eating, but the chemical compounds inside the food that matter. It only takes a little of something sometimes because the activity of the chemical is so high. also the chemical is concentrated in some processed foods at higher amounts. A teaspoon of organic ketchup can have the same lycopene content as 5 whole tomatoes.
