When it comes to seasonal fruits and vegetables in summer, tomatoes are absolutely indispensable. They can be cooked as vegetables or eaten raw like fruits, and they have great taste and nutritional value. Of course, in addition to the above advantages, tomatoes have another effect that must be mentioned, that is - cancer prevention!

This kind of tomato cannot be eaten. Although tomatoes have a good anti-cancer effect, there is a kind of tomato that does not prevent cancer and can even "kill you"!
That is - green tomatoes.
Studies have shown that tomatoes contain toxins such as solanine when they are still green and have not yet matured.
This toxin is highly irritating and corrosive to the gastrointestinal mucosa, and also has a paralyzing effect on the human central nervous system.
Studies have shown that ingesting 0.2 to 0.4 grams of solanine can cause toxic reactions, leading to vomiting, difficulty breathing, and even organ failure.
Moreover, the chemical properties of solanine are very stable, and deep frying at above 170°C is required to significantly reduce the content of solanine in food.
Therefore, unripe tomatoes must not be eaten raw, and it is best not to eat them even if they are cooked.

8 types of people should eat less tomatoes

Although tomatoes are good, for some people, eating too much and too frequently can have obvious side effects on the human body.
The following 8 types of people should eat less tomatoes:
People with tomato allergies; people with kidney dysfunction; people with irritable bowel syndrome; people with GERD/heartburn; people who are prone to stomach and abdominal pain; people with urinary incontinence and cystitis; people with migraines; people who are concerned about skin discoloration.
In addition, some friends are concerned about the way to eat tomatoes.

In fact, tomatoes have their own benefits when eaten raw, and their own advantages when eaten cooked.

Eating tomatoes raw can provide you with rich vitamin C, dietary fiber and potassium; eating them cooked is more conducive to the body's absorption of lycopene and carotene.

Therefore, you can eat it alternately in two ways.

Of course, you don't need to eat too many tomatoes. According to the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022)", healthy adults should consume 300 to 500 grams of vegetables per day. Therefore, the intake of nightshade vegetables, including tomatoes, should be about 150 grams.

After all, a balanced diet is better for your health!
