Nutritionist Olga Lushnikova: many people experience negative reactions from the body as a result of eating tomatoes.
Doctor Lushnikova warned Russians about the possible harm of tomatoes, commenting on the properties of these vegetables in a conversation with NEWS.ru.
“When eating tomatoes, you should remember that they can cause many negative consequences for health,” the specialist stated.
According to Olga Lushnikova, one of these consequences is allergic reactions of varying severity, including those that threaten a person with loss of consciousness and pose a threat to life.
Here are the reactions that can occur after eating tomatoes:
- Hives;
- Itching of the skin;
- Lacrimation;
- Quincke's edema;
- Bronchospasm;
- Anaphylactic shock.
In addition, the expert noted, if tomatoes contain nitrates and pesticides, then after their consumption reactions in the form of headaches and dizziness, tachycardia are possible.
In addition, digesting tomatoes can be difficult for the gastrointestinal tract, especially in cases where there are chronic disorders, gastritis or ulcers. Bloating, increased gas formation, upset stool and other digestive problems – all this can occur after eating tomatoes, which contain a lot of fiber and organic acids. Even completely healthy people can feel discomfort.
“People with urolithiasis should not get carried away with tomatoes, and with gallstone disease, they are not advisable to eat them at all,” the specialist added.
Earlier, the MedikForum.ru portal wrote that some of the beneficial properties of buckwheat are more a myth than the truth.
