Poor quality tomatoes can have serious health consequences. Nutritionist Maria Rozanova told what tomatoes are dangerous and how to recognize them on store shelves.
The expert commented on the issue: “If tomatoes have been grown near roads or chemical plants, they may contain heavy metal salts. This can lead to poisoning, and with the constant consumption of such tomatoes in large quantities, even to stones in the kidneys or gallbladder. If during cultivation farmers have increased the dose of fertilizer above normal. Nitrates can accumulate in such tomatoes. ”
Pressure on the green fruits of tomatoes can cause coma, because unripe tomatoes contain a dangerous substance solanine. Its use in large quantities can be harmful to human health, because solanine is a poisonous glycoalkoloid. Its high content in unripe tomatoes is due to the natural protection of the fruit from mold.
The expert gave an example: if you theoretically imagine that a large number of unripe tomatoes will be processed into juice or paste, they will have a large number of toxic doses to the body. And this is a direct path to coma. In this regard, the doctor advised to eat only fresh fruit, buy tomatoes in stores that the customer trusts, as well as thoroughly wash and peel tomatoes.
