This statement is actually a bit alarmist. In addition to the variation of plants themselves, some pointed tomatoes are indeed products that use hormones to promote redness. However, eating a small amount of such plants and vegetables is not harmful to the human body.

In order to promote fruit ripening, vegetable farmers spread synthetic ethephon on the fruit and release ethylene gas, which can promote tomato fruit to ripen for 7 to 12 days. The red tomatoes with sharp tips may be caused by improper or high concentration of ethephon when using ethephon to promote red. In other words, moderate consumption of red tomatoes will not cause harm to the human body, but you can't eat too much.
