Purpose
Tomatoes contain several compounds which may be beneficial for human health and prevention of disease, although this relationship is poorly understood and very controversial. This study uses a new technology to study the absorption and metabolism of three different compounds found in tomatoes. These compounds are called: phytoene, phytofluene, and lycopene. We hypothesize that by studying the absorption and metabolism of these compounds, we may be able to understand how the compounds may influence health and disease processes.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Plasma Half Life of Labeled Carotenoid [ Time Frame: labelled lycopene: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours post-dose. Labelled phytoene: hourly for hours 0 - 15, then hours 17, 19 and 21 hours after dosing. Then, 1, 2, 3 4, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21 and 28 days post dose. ]We will study the half life of isotopically labeled carotenoids.
- Maximal Plasma Carotenoid Concentration [ Time Frame: 0 to 48 hours ]We will determine the average maximal plasma carotenoid concentration in healthy volunteers
- Time of Maximal Carotenoid Concentration [ Time Frame: 0 to 48 hours ]We will determine when the maximal carotenoid concentration is achieved in the plasma
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Carotenoid Metabolites [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]Study the metabolites produced from the labeled carotenoid in healthy subjects

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Between ages of 21-70 years old.
- Body mass index of between 18 and 27 kg/m2 (inclusive).
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)performance status of O.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Have a known allergy or intolerance to tomatoes.

- Are taking certain medications (prescription or over-the-counter) such as Orlistat, which interfere with dietary fat absorption.
- Are taking complementary and alternative medications that at the discretion of the study physician Steven K. Clinton(SKC) may interfere with carotenoid absorption or metabolism.
