This site be say (what kind of English is that) that tomatoes are alkaline! List of Alkaline Foods | Acid Alkaline Food This idea is simple. The alkaline foods are the healthy foods or plant foods whereas the acid are the animal and man-made foods.

Tomatoes are known as wolf peaches and are part of the deadly nightshade group of plants that are horrible for you. Other deadly nightshade family vegetables are eggplant and potatoes. Sorry. This is old news and I never bought into it.

But they are not the best source of lycopene that makes the tomato red. A great source is watermelon and red grapefruit. But sources that are much higher than tomatoes are goji berries and gac fruit has 70 times the lycopene that is in tomatoes.

Tomatoes are non-sweet fruit like cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, pumpkin and squash. This page with natural cures lists tomatoes as cures for some health problems according to the USDA.
