Hello Jeffrey,
You are so right ON. We really need to get the word out.
Do read on because I just got this document about Tomatoes and broccoli that when you eat them together are more effective in cancer prevention.
The Natural Cancer-Fighting Power of Tomatoes and Broccoli
http://www.mercola.com/2007/feb/3/the-natural-cancer-fighting-power-of-tomatoes-and-broccoli.htm
Broccoli and tomatoes, both of which have been previously found to help fight cancer, have been found to be even more effective against prostate cancer when eaten together as part of a daily diet.
Researchers fed rats who had been implanted with prostate cancer cells a diet containing 10 percent broccoli powder and 10 percent tomato powder for a period of 22 weeks.
Other rats received either one or the other but not both, a dose of lycopene (the substance in tomatoes believed fight cancer), or the drug finasteride. Another set of rats was castrated.
At the end of the study, the tomato and broccoli combination diet was the most effective treatment; only castration even came close in terms of effectiveness.
The combination of vegetables may be more effective than either one alone because different compounds in each food work on different anti-cancer pathways.

One of the best sources for Tomatoes and Broccoli are the ones that have been ripening on the Vines. The reason is because vines ripen vegetables have the highest Phytonutrients content simply because these vegetables were allowed to grow and mature on the vine.

Combinations of Tomato and Broccoli Enhance Antitumor Activity in Dunning R3327-H Prostate Adenocarcinomas

The consumption of diets containing 5 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily is the foundation of public health recommendations for cancer prevention, yet this concept has not been tested in experimental models of prostate cancer. We evaluated combinations of tomato and broccoli in the Dunning R3327-H prostate adenocarcinoma model. Male Copenhagen rats (n = 206) were fed diets containing 10% tomato, 10% broccoli, 5% tomato plus 5% broccoli (5:5 combination), 10% tomato plus 10% broccoli (10:10 combination) powders, or lycopene (23 or 224 nmol/g diet) for 22 weeks starting 1 month prior to receiving s.c. tumor implants. We compared the effects of diet to surgical castration (2 weeks before termination) or finasteride (5 mg/kg body weight orally, 6 d/wk). Castration reduced prostate weights, tumor areas, and tumor weight (62%, P < 0.001), whereas finasteride reduced prostate weights (P < 0.0001), but had no effect on tumor area or weight. Lycopene at 23 or 224 nmol/g of the diet insignificantly reduced tumor weights by 7% or 18%, respectively, whereas tomato reduced tumor weight by 34% (P < 0.05). Broccoli decreased tumor weights by 42% (P < 0.01) whereas the 10:10 combination caused a 52% decrease (P < 0.001).
Tumor growth reductions were associated with reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis, as quantified by proliferating cell nuclear antigen immunohistochemistry and the ApopTag assay. The combination of tomato and broccoli was more effective at slowing tumor growth than either tomato or broccoli alone and supports the public health recommendations to increase the intake of a variety of plant components.
