Does cooking destroy lycopene?
Yes—though it’s a bit of a tradeoff, since cooking destroys some other nutrients, notably vitamin C.

For nutrients where the data are insufficient, experts make a guess based on what appear to be typical intakes of healthy-seeming people.
What are the DRI values?
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are a set of reference values used to plan and assess nutrient intakes of healthy people. They are used widely in: Designing and evaluating research studies and results. Developing dietary guidelines and food guides.
