Tomatoes are not bad for you. In fact they are very good for you. Tomatoes contain vitamins and minerals plus they are an excellent source of lycopene and beta carotene.
Lycopene is a phytochemical carotenoid found in the red pigment of tomatoes, which may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Tomatoes belong to the Nightshade family of vegetables, which also includes potatoes and egg plant. These vegetables contain solanine, a chemical thought to aggravate rheumatoid arthritis symptoms in some people.
