Abstract: An epidemiology investigation, as a result, showed that wine may has the function of preventing the cardiovascular disease potentially, it was French paradox. Grape has rich polyphenol, cyanin and etc. These materials also consist in fruits and vegetables largely, furthermore, flavones, carrotenoids, vitamin C in fruits and vegetables, and whether they have similar thus functions, so we experimented with the extracts from tomato, eggplant, kudzu and tea on the Cu2+-mediated oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The result was that lycopene could restraint of LDL oxidized violently, flavonoids and vitamin C were as also the effect. Oxidized-LDL was also subjected to electrophoresis, it was affirmed the extracts from these fruits and vegetables inhibited LDL to be oxidated and reduced Ox-LDL. It implies fruits and vegetables are be capable of prevention the cardiovasculard isease.

Key words: fruits and vegetables, lycopene, cyanin, oxidized, LDL
