Tomato over-dose
« on: August 07, 2020, 13:33 »
Serious question. Is it dangerous to eat more that 4 or 5 tomatoes a day? Every time I pass my greenhouse I can't resist the temptation. And they're not little ones but full-sized Alicante

I remember when my D.H.   was having his chemo, the word was eat as many tomatoes every day as possible.
Apparently they have something in them that is very good.   So enjoy.    Mrs Bouquet

My mum always said that more than 1 or 2 made her Arthritis worse, but I've never noticed any difference  ;)

Hi think it’s lycopene Mrs B & it’s higher in cooked tomatoes. I can eat tomatoes like sweets so can easily mainly 4 or 5 or more. It’s only for a short time Alan, eating seasonally is what we’re advised  :lol:

The Lypocene may be the geologic epoch that came after the invention of Lyposuction. ;) :nowink: :tongue2: :ohmy:

Wasn't that era before Botoxcene when many eruptions occurred in various places and Smoothies were all the rage? :D
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

At this time of year, a favourite lunch is a huge 'Bruschetta', using nearly all the toms we have at the time...

So, every other day, about eight per plate get a good seeing to, and if they're doing any harm, I'd maybe not be worried at all!

I've heard the arthritis query from time to time, but have never taken it seriously, but then, life's like that...

(Mind you, we were going to have a beef casserole today, and having got it out of the freezer, it seems to have 'blown' in it's plastic bag, so another tom delight is on the menu for the fortieth time this year..;0) That'll go down well with a glass of Biddenden Cider - have you tried it Mum, Auntie? Fabulous!
