 Tomatoes - Good or bad for you? I'm curious. Why they might be bad: Highly acidic - If you buy into the acid/alkaline theory then you'd want to avoid them because they are very acidic. Inflammatory - Are tomatoes inflammatory? I've read some things that say they are. Why they might be good: Lycopene - Have heard a host of good things about lycopene. And apparently the best way to get it is through cooked tomato products? Water-rich foods - Water-rich foods (veggies) are good no? Tomatoes are a water-rich food. Please feel free to weigh in here in favor or against Mr. Tomato.

| Ohh yummo tomatoes! i have been craving these little yummy guys lately... funny you post this! According to Dr Joshi ripe raw tomatoes are not acidic. Cooked tomatoes (as in pasta sauce, tomato soup, pizza topping) is highly acidic to your system and should be avoided. Nothing beats the taste of a home grown tomato! |

| I think Tomatoes have great nutritional values , but as with any food , it shouldnt be consumed in excessive amount. Just last week we had a mom suffering fatal water intoxication as a result of drinking too much H20 . So you get the clue .

I thought it was a joke. .. seriously i agree with escapee.....i try to include sauce in my diet at least weekly...but as always listen to your body - some people get acid reflux from tomato sauce and obviously shouldn't eat it as much ...

| So it's interesting in that I've heard that cooked tomatoes (e.g., sauce) is actually better in terms of lycopene (I think, don't quote me...). But then raw is less acidic? Hmmm...
