Michelle 2012-10-20T01:33:21Z 2012-10-20T01:33:21Z <p>Excessive tomato eating gives me mouth ulcers. Other than that, I've experienced no other symptoms of inflammation via tomatoes that I've noticed.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/156853/do-tomatoes-cause-inflammation-and-acne/156881#156881 Answer by judybot for Do tomatoes cause inflammation and acne? judybot 2012-10-20T01:50:54Z 2012-10-20T01:50:54Z <p>I haven't tested enough to really know if tomatoes were really the cause, but I seemed to have more joint pain and acne after a string of about 4 or 5 days when I ate a lot of tomatoes. Haven't really bothered to try again, because...well...I like not having knee pain or breakouts so I'm not really willing to chance it. Small amounts here and there don't seem to cause any outward symptoms for me, but I don't like tomatoes enough to incorporate them into meals very often.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/156853/do-tomatoes-cause-inflammation-and-acne/161295#161295 Answer by Createveryday for Do tomatoes cause inflammation and acne? Createveryday 2012-11-14T22:23:51Z 2012-11-14T22:23:51Z <p>In addition to being a nightshade veggie, tomatoes also have a significant amount of omega-6 fatty acids, which can also promote inflammation. This is pronounced enough to have a significant impact on me, so I avoid tomatoes, although I love them.</p>
