It is unlikely that any of the summer residents and gardeners realize that they are growing a vegetable that is quite dangerous to health on their plot.
We are talking about tomatoes, which, under certain circumstances, can cause considerable harm to health.
According to foreign nutritionists, a contraindication to the consumption of tomatoes and products containing them is liver disease.
Who shouldn't eat tomatoes?
Patients diagnosed with chronic liver disease should not get carried away with tomatoes without consulting a doctor.
The reason is the oxalic acid contained in the vegetable.
In addition, tomatoes increase acidity and irritate the mucous membrane.
As for the mentioned oxalic acid, it disrupts the process of removing toxins.
This can cause stones to form and disrupt liver function.
No less dangerous to health are ketchup and tomato sauce, to which sugar, salt and preservatives are added, which also affects the functioning of the liver.
You shouldn’t get carried away with fried tomatoes either – fresh or baked vegetables are much healthier.
Even healthy people are advised by experts to observe the norm when consuming tomatoes.
If you have any chronic diseases, you should consult a doctor.
