Of course this has nothing to do with tomatoes! In fact, there are hundreds of cancer patients who have never eaten tomatoes in their life. If tomatoes were responsible for the disease, we should find the greatest incidence of cancer in the area around Naples, in Southern Italy, for instance, where people consume immense quantities of them. Yet I have come across few cases of cancer in this district and, indeed, mortality from this disease is extremely low there because great emphasis is put on fruit, vegetables and pasta, with very little protein other than fish being eaten. No doubt, the diet is a contributory factor to the low incidence of cancer in this area, despite their appetite for tomatoes.
