Has tomato juice got roughly the same amount of vitamin A and C as orange juice?

Question

I've been told orange juice has heaps more natural sugar than tomato juice - is this correct? Also does tomato juice have the antioxidant Lycopene in it?

Answer 1

tomato juice is by far the healtheir option... and tomoatoes have more vitamin c than oranges.

Answer 2

tomato juice has lycopene in it(but you'll get more benefit from cooked tomato products..like pasta sauce)...I believe it also has more A and C than oranges as well...I've read studies that suggest the amount of Vitamin C in oranges has a wide range from orange to orange.
Orange juice probably has much more sugar than tomato juice...but tomato juice is loaded with salt...choose your poison.

Answer 3

tomato juice does have lycopene in it (all tomatoes have lycopene), which is a phytochemical (plant chemical) which has all sorts of good benefits for your heart. orange juice, i believe, has the most vitamin C of all fruit juices (especially the one with added vitamin C). but tomato juice is a great source of vitamins A and C, but i think orange juice still has the most vitamin C. im sure you could look on the web at a nutrition site for a chart to compare the various fruit juices on google.
