Vegetables contain nicotine raw vegetables equal to passive smoking? Reportedly, scientists have found nicotine content in some vegetables, so tomatoes and other vegetables are best not eaten raw. Nanjing's leading food and vegetable experts believe that there is no need to be nervous, because the nicotine content of vegetables is too small to pose a threat to the human body.

The news that U.S. scientists after a long study, found that people commonly used vegetables, such as tomatoes, yams, eggplants and cauliflower contain varying amounts of nicotine. If these vegetables are eaten raw and uncooked, the amount of nicotine that enters the body will be much higher, and the resulting damage will be close to that of passive smoking in a smoky environment. Some vegetables, such as lentils, do have health effects when consumed uncooked due to the alkali substances they contain.

Vegetables are not all good and no harm, in addition to lentils contain some harmful substances, some vegetables can even cause allergic diseases, cause metabolic disorders. Scientific studies have found that people commonly used vegetables do have nicotine content such as tomatoes. But scientists have found that the nicotine content in tomatoes is negligible, can only be measured in micrograms, less than negligible, so under normal circumstances, the consumption of vegetables will not have an impact on the human body, there is no need for the public to worry about it
