Among vegetables, tomatoes are a unique variety. It can be used as both a fruit and a vegetable. On the summer table, tomatoes with sugar are a common dish. But some people have symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort after eating it. Is it unhealthy to eat tomatoes mixed with sugar? In fact, there is no taboo in eating tomatoes and sugar together, and it will not cause any harm unless the tolerance is different due to individual differences.

But if the mixed sugar is contaminated by sweet-eating mites, the situation is different. Mites are microscopic pests that are difficult to see with the naked eye. They like to feed on sugar, sugar, maltose, and syrup. If they are accidentally allowed to enter the body, they will become a hidden danger for people to get sick, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. It can even burrow into the intestinal mucosa and form ulcers.

So, should tomatoes be eaten raw or cooked?

Eating tomatoes raw can supplement a large amount of vitamin C. On average, every 100 grams of tomatoes contains 19 grams of vitamin C; eating them raw It can also increase the intake of soluble dietary fiber. It is beneficial for preventing cardiovascular disease and preventing obesity. However, the carotene and lycopene in it cannot be utilized to the maximum extent, and the absorption rate of nutrients is relatively low. It should be reminded that tomatoes are cool and slightly cold in nature, and women with spleen and stomach deficiency and menstrual period are best to eat less raw tomatoes.

Eating ripe tomatoes can supplement antioxidants. During the cooking process, vegetable oils such as peanut oil and salad oil are often used, and these oils will help tomatoes naturally release fat-soluble antioxidants such as lycopene (lycopene is a fat-soluble substance and requires the help of oil for absorption). Give full play to antioxidant effects. But that doesn’t mean you need to add a lot of cooking oil. Just add a small amount of vegetable oil when cooking, or eat it with fatty foods to promote its absorption and utilization in the human body. However, vitamin C is damaged to a certain extent during the cooking process.

Therefore, it can be eaten raw or cooked, but for obtaining lycopene, cooked food is more ideal.

Eating tomatoes mixed with sugar is indeed not a healthy way to eat. Tomatoes are a good thing, they can be used as both vegetables and fruits, but eating them with sugar is a way that should have been eliminated long ago. To be honest, this way of eating is not as good as eating it directly in your hand.

1. It is easy to consume too much added sugar if you eat it mixed with sugar.

Excessive intake of added sugar will increase the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, dental caries, and diabetes, and can easily cause children’s Malnutrition and reduced resistance!

The way of eating tomatoes mixed with sugar probably originated many years ago. At that time, tomatoes were still very sour. People who couldn’t eat sour tomatoes grinned after taking a bite. Add some sugar to neutralize the sour and sweet taste. Sweet, on the contrary, stimulates appetite; in addition, sugar was still a good reward at that time, so eating tomatoes mixed with sugar was high-end and refreshing. But it doesn’t work now. Firstly, the current tomato breeding and improvement have long lost the sour taste. Secondly, modern people’s energy intake is generally too high. Free sugar or added sugar is no longer a good thing. Now for free sugar There are already limits. The latest version of the "2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans" recommends: Daily energy from added sugars: should be less than 10% of the total energy of food (about 50g), and it is best to further limit it to less than 5% (about 25g) , you see if you eat this kind of dish again, your free sugar intake will exceed the standard accidentally. From this aspect, eating it mixed with sugar is not as healthy as eating it raw.

2. Eating it mixed with sugar is not conducive to the absorption of lycopene

Lycopene is a fat-soluble substance. The best way to eat it is to fry it with oil. It will dissolve lycopene and facilitate its absorption in the intestines; eating it directly mixed with sugar or eating it raw will not be conducive to the absorption of lycopene.

The lycopene in tomatoes is a good thing. Scientific research has conclusive evidence that lycopene, as an antioxidant, can reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men. In terms of diet, there is the famous "Mediterranean model", which is a relatively healthy eating model. In fact, "Mediterranean barbecue" is also unique. One of the characteristics is that the pieces of meat are separated by large tomatoes. Roasted tomatoes are eaten while grilling meat, so the locals are also very healthy.

Lycopene has become popular many years ago, but in the early days it was mostly a hype concept. In the early years, many so-called lycopenes were actually tomato powder with very low lycopene content. Now With the increased supervision of health care products, the situation has improved a lot. The reason why lycopene does not work well is that the extraction and storage process of lycopene greatly damages its activity. If you want to reduce the damage during the processing, the cost is very high. Even during the storage process, it must be kept away from oxygen, otherwise it will quickly become oxidized and inactivated. Therefore, if we want to consume lycopene, cooking with tomatoes is a good way, especially if they are fried and eaten, it will not only destroy their cell walls and facilitate the exposure of the contents, but also have oil to promote the absorption of lycopene.

I believe many people have eaten this simple, refreshing and delicious cold concoction of tomatoes mixed with sugar, and many people are very enthusiastic about it, especially in the hot summer. There is no doubt that tomatoes are the holy product of beauty, but Is tomatoes mixed with sugar really healthy? Then why do some people experience diarrhea and abdominal pain after eating it? Let’s take a look at the reasons with me. That's what sugar mites are doing. Mites like to feed on white sugar, sugar tablets, maltose, and syrup. Most of them are eaten into the body through food and make people sick. They can not only cause diarrhea, but also burrow into the intestinal mucosa and form ulcers. Nutritionists believe that it is better to use honey for salad tomatoes. Honey is a good nourishing and health-preserving product, sweet and gentle, and has therapeutic and tonifying effects on many diseases in the human respiratory system, digestive system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system, endocrine system and skin.

How to eat tomatoes healthily?

How to mix tomatoes with honey:

First prepare 2 tomatoes and 20 grams of honey. Wash the tomatoes, put them into a bowl, pour boiling water and blanch them for about 1 minute, take them out, then rinse them in water to cool, tear off the skin of the tomatoes, cut them into pieces or slices, put them in a basin, and pour the honey into a small bowl. Add cold boiled water to dilute it and pour it on the tomatoes. Serve.

It should be noted that tomatoes are slightly cold foods. People with cold spleen and stomach should eat as little as possible and do not eat them on an empty stomach. It is best not to eat green tomatoes. Generally speaking, the redder the tomato, the better the tomato. The higher the lycopene content, the lower the lycopene content in unripe and semi-ripe green tomatoes. In summer, you should eat cooked honey instead of raw honey, that is, honey with a sugar content above 39 degrees. Mixed flower honey with a temperature lower than 39 degrees may contain some toxic ingredients, such as gelsemine A, belladonna alkaloids or scopolamine, which can easily cause poisoning after consumption. Through observation, the rats that ate tomatoes and kale at the same time had the most significant therapeutic effect, with tumors shrinking by 52%, and those tumors grew slowly. Judging from the tissue sections of the tumor, the differentiation of cancer cells is slow, but the degree of apoptosis in the nucleus of the cancer cells is quite obvious. It can be seen that a diet of tomatoes and kale can indeed prevent the development of prostate cancer.

You all already know the reasons why tomatoes mixed with sugar can have health effects from the above introduction. I hope readers can seek the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, choose healthy ways to eat tomatoes, and strive to eat healthily!

Misconceptions about eating tomatoes

They should not be eaten raw. Especially women with spleen and stomach deficiency and menstruation. Tomatoes contain a large amount of soluble astringents and other ingredients, which react with gastric acid and condense into insoluble lumps, which can easily cause gastrointestinal fullness, pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. If you only eat tomatoes as a fruit to supplement vitamin C, or to relieve the heat in midsummer, it is better to eat them raw.

It should not be eaten on an empty stomach. Gastric acid secretion increases during fasting, because certain chemicals contained in tomatoes combine with gastric acid to easily form water-insoluble lumps. Eating them often causes abdominal pain, stomach discomfort, and gastric bloating.

It is not suitable to heat at high temperature for a long time. Because lycopene is easily decomposed when exposed to light, heat and oxygen, it loses its health care effect. Therefore, prolonged heating at high temperatures should be avoided when cooking.

It is not advisable to eat immature green tomatoes. Because it contains toxic solanine. Eating unripe green tomatoes will make you feel bitter. If you eat too much, it can lead to poisoning in severe cases, with symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, general discomfort, vomiting, and general fatigue. In severe cases, your life may be in danger.

The dangers of tomatoes mixed with sugar

On the dining table, tomatoes mixed with sugar is the most popular dish. It is not only nutritious, but also sweet and refreshing. However, some people develop diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms after eating it, and taking drugs to treat dysentery or enteritis are ineffective. What is the reason for this? That's what sugar mites are doing.

Mites like to feed on white sugar, sugar tablets, maltose, and syrup. Most of them are eaten into the body through food and make people sick. They can not only cause diarrhea, but also burrow into the intestinal mucosa and form ulcers. Experts say that there is no taboo in eating tomatoes and sugar together and will not cause any harm unless tolerance is different due to individual differences. But if the white sugar mixed in is contaminated by sweet-eating mites, the situation is different. Mites are microscopic pests that are difficult to see with the naked eye. There are many types of mites. Foods with high sugar content such as sugar, sugar, maltose, syrup, etc. are the favorites of sweet-eating mites. If they are accidentally allowed to enter the body, they will become a disease for people. Hidden dangers of the disease, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms, and even the formation of ulcers.

Is it good to mix tomatoes with sugar? It is a good meal for lazy cancer patients. The focus is not on the tomatoes, but on the sugar. The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents 2016" recommends 50 grams of added sugar per day, and it is best to control it at 25 grams per day. Then 25 grams of sugar is equivalent to 5 packets of Star Papa's sugar packets.

Calculating this way, one medium tomato mixed with 10 grams of sugar is still good to eat.

Is it unhealthy to eat tomatoes mixed with sugar?

Eating tomatoes mixed with sugar is sour, sweet and refreshing. Isn’t this way of eating unhealthy?

There is a saying:

Tomatoes cannot absorb lycopene (a natural pigment contained in plants that has antioxidant effects) when eaten raw.

More importantly, how should we eat food every day to be called healthy? This again depends on whether the diet is balanced.

Before the first to answer:

Eating tomatoes mixed with sugar is not healthy or not. Why?

Because of a balanced diet, it is healthy to have cereals, vegetables and fruits as the mainstay of plant foods on the daily plate, supplemented by animal foods such as fish and lean meat, with less oil, less salt and less sugar [1] .

Tomatoes mixed with sugar can provide a variety of nutrients needed by the human body, and can also supplement an appropriate amount of sugar. Eat it with other foods to meet the daily nutritional needs of the human body, which is a healthy diet.

Nutritional components of tomatoes mixed with sugar

1. Tomatoes are bright in color, sweet and sour in taste, and can provide a variety of nutrients needed by the human body

Per 100g Fresh tomatoes contain 0.7 to 0.9 grams of protein; 0.2 to 0.3 grams of fat; 2 to 4 grams of carbohydrates; 8 to 10 mg of calcium, 22 to 26 mg of phosphorus, 0.6 to 0.9 mg of iron, 240 to 270 mg of potassium; 10 to 25 mg of vitamin C, and 0.3 to 0.5 carotene. mg, B vitamins 0.8 to 1.1 mg, and lycopene, etc. [2].

2. White sugar commonly used for mixing tomatoes

Sugar can play a role in adjusting the sourness of tomatoes, and can also supplement an appropriate amount of sugar.

Disadvantages of eating tomatoes mixed with sugar

1. Inability to absorb lycopene

Lycopene mainly exists in mature plant fruits such as tomatoes, watermelons, Papaya, etc., and tomatoes have the highest content. Ripe tomato fruits can contain up to 3-14 mg of lycopene per 100 grams [3].

Eating a raw tomato can only absorb about 0.05 mg of lycopene.

But even if it is cooked, the amount of lycopene that can be absorbed is still a small amount.

Of course, if you really don’t want to miss out on these lycopene, you can also eat it cooked.

There is not much difference between eating tomatoes raw and eating them cooked. They absorb most of the nutrients needed by the human body.

2. Too much white sugar is used

When mixing tomatoes with sugar, we must pay attention to the amount of sugar used.

The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016)" recommends that our daily sugar intake should not exceed 50 grams, and it is best to control it below 25 grams [1].

If the total amount of sugar we consume in a day is already a lot, then we need to consider appropriately reducing the amount of sugar used.

Excessive sugar intake will make you gain weight easily and increase the risk of dental caries, which is not good for your health.

Whether you are healthy or not depends on your daily diet

A balanced diet is the fundamental way to achieve a reasonable diet and balanced nutrition.

It is healthy to eat grains, vegetables and fruits as the main plant foods on your daily plate, supplemented by fish and lean animal foods, and have less oil, salt and sugar [1].

For example, if we consume a variety of foods in one day to meet the daily nutritional requirements of the human body, including tomatoes mixed with sugar, it can be called "healthy".

However, if you have a partial eclipse or for some other reasons and only eat tomatoes mixed with sugar without eating it with other foods, your nutrition will be greatly reduced and it cannot be called healthy.

Summary

Eat tomatoes mixed with sugar. They are sour, sweet, refreshing and nutritious.

However, a balanced diet, with a daily plate of cereals, vegetables and fruits as the mainstay of plant foods, supplemented by fish and lean animal foods, with less oil, less salt and less sugar, is healthy.
