https://youtu.be/XVEyA3zVc9s
Though they are usually safe for consumption, they can cause complications in some people. Some of the issues tomatoes can cause include acid reflux, effects of intolerance, muscle aches, etc.
Even the leaf of the tomato plant can be unsafe. In large amounts, it can cause vomiting, dizziness, headache, and, in severe cases, even death.
Another major factor contributing to this dark side of tomatoes is lycopene, the very compound that, quite surprisingly, is responsible for its benefits as well.
Lycopene In Tomatoes,
Lycopene is safe in most cases. But lycopene supplements may not be safe during pregnancy. Lycopene can also aggravate the symptoms of prostate cancer.
Lycopene must be used cautiously in patients who have stomach ulcers, and other stomach issues. The compound can also cause low blood pressure. Individuals with blood pressure lowering medication must stay away from lycopene.
Lycopene can also increase the risk of bleeding and must be avoided by people with bleeding disorders.
Side Effects Of Tomatoes:
1. Acid Reflux/Heartburn:
Tomatoes are highly acidic, which makes them likely to cause heartburn. Tomatoes are packed with malic and citric acids and can make the stomach produce excessive gastric, acid (which is responsible for food breakdown). When the volume of the acid increases, it is forced to flow up the esophagus, causing the symptoms. In fact, even cooking tomatoes may not be of much help.
2. Allergies And Infections:
Symptoms of a tomato allergy most often occur immediately after the fruit is consumed. These include hives, skin rashes, eczema, coughing, sneezing, an itching sensation in the throat, and swelling of the face, mouth, and tongue.
Tomatoes can also cause allergic contact dermatitis – where your skin becomes severely itchy and swollen after touching the fruit. Tomatoes can also lead to itchy lips. Another allergic reaction to do with tomatoes is a red patch around the eyebrows and eyelids.
3. Kidney Problems:
People with severe kidney issues must also limit the intake of tomatoes, as they contain a lot of water. High potassium levels in the blood, which is one of the causes of kidney disease, could be dealt with by avoiding tomatoes or tomato sauce or anything made of tomatoes. Tomato sauce is also high in oxalate, which is another reason susceptible individuals must steer clear of it.
4. Irritable Bowel Syndrome:
Tomatoes, given their irritating skins and seeds, can be one reason for irritable bowel syndrome. And if you are already suffering from IBS, tomatoes can also trigger bloating.
Tomatoes are also one of the most common food allergens, that can cause intestinal problems.
5. Diarrhea:
Tomatoes are greasy and acidic and must be avoided during diarrhea. And according to another report by the University of Minnesota, tomatoes can be a source of an organism called salmonella that causes diarrhea.
6. Urinary Problems:
Acidic foods like tomatoes can irritate the bladder and result in urinary incontinence. Tomatoes can also cause bladder symptoms, and in certain cases, cystitis (burning sensation in the bladder).
7. Respiratory Problems:
People allergic to tomatoes can have difficulty breathing.
We can also accuse tomatoes of being conducive to mold development – and molds, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, can cause allergies and respiratory problems.
8. A migraine:
Tomatoes are known to trigger migraines. According to experts, one can prevent migraines 40% of the time just by simply making some dietary changes.
As per an Iranian study, the tomato is a powerful trigger for a migraine headache.
9. Pregnant And Breastfeeding Women:
In regular amounts, tomatoes are found to be safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women. However, there is insufficient evidence when it comes to large amounts. The best way to go about it would be to consult your doctor.
Talking about lycopene in this context, there is no evidence. Hence, refrain from taking lycopene supplements.
Tomato, especially the sauce, has a strong flavor and can make its way into the breast milk. This can make the baby uncomfortable and irritable.
