Date: November 13, 2007 07:58AM I read that eating tons of tomatoes can cause puffiness in the eyes. I also read that someone who craves tomatoes may have an iron difficiency.
what do you think? i generally suffer from puffy eyes in the morning, and I do eat quite a bit of tomatoes. I think I will cut out the tomatoes for a week and see if I notice a difference. Re: tomatoes = puffiness?

Date: November 13, 2007 11:52AM I can eat tomatoes by the truckload--if I eat them alone.
but combining them causes me major trouble. puffiness, bloating, distended belly. very attractive... measure twice, cut once. "In Watermelon Sugar the deeds were done and done again as my life is done in watermelon sugar." ~r.brautigan I make paintings Re: tomatoes = puffiness?

Date: November 14, 2007 01:06AM i read that tomatoes are only acid once they are cooked. In the book Eating for Beauty it says they are a neutral fruit. not acid, not alkaline, but neutral.
I can eat a zillion tomatoes, too. Most women I've met LOVE tomatoes like the love for their child. men not so much like women. It is an interesting observation I have observed... Whenever I buy tomatoes I try to save them so I can put it in a salad or soupe or something, but I never have the self control I just eat them! =) I have two tomatoes left... after this I'm not buying tomatoes for one week, and I'll report back if there is a noticable difference(or if there is none).

Date: November 14, 2007 06:37PM When I was pregnant, I used to eat big red ripe tomatoes like apples. I couldn't stop eating them. As for being puffy while I was pregnant......, I couldn't blame the tomatoes.  Re: tomatoes = puffiness?

Date: November 14, 2007 07:58PM It seems like I`m going to be puffy for the rest of my life 
Tomatoes are on my plate almost every day and well...yes my eyes are puffy in the morning, but maybe Shaine`s advice will work so I try them alone. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
