Nutritionist and therapist Oleg Krivchenkov explained the hidden harm of tomatoes.
The popular vegetable is considered healthy, but its consumption may have negative health consequences.
Tomatoes contain vitamins C and A, minerals, and useful microelements. This product is low in calories and is often used in diets, writes "Lenta.ru" .
However, it is worth remembering that tomatoes may contain the natural poison solanine and oxalic acid.
Solanine is found in green and overripe tomatoes. Therefore, it is best to eat them when they are ripe or after pickling.
In addition, tomatoes can provoke autoimmune reactions in the body.
Acids in tomatoes can cause discomfort in gastrointestinal diseases.
People with chronic diseases are better off eating tomatoes without skin.
Krivchenkov concluded that people with health problems need to discuss eating tomatoes with a doctor.
