Warning!! NEVER Eat This Type Of TOMATO IF You Don’t Want To Damage Your Liver Quickly
As the economic situation in Nigeria continues to strain household budgets, many people have resorted to purchasing cheaper food items, including rotten or deteriorating tomatoes, commonly known as *esha*.
While this practice may seem like a cost saving measure, experts warn that consuming such compromised produce can have severe health consequences.
Rotten tomatoes are often contaminated with harmful substances like mycotoxins and aflatoxins. These toxins are produced by certain types of fungi that thrive in spoiled or improperly stored food. According to Susan Holbrooke, a Clinical Nutritionist at the
Nigerian Institute of Medical Research in Lagos, these toxins are particularly dangerous as they can cause significant liver damage, impair child development, and even lead to liver cancer.

The liver, often referred to as the body’s powerhouse, plays a critical role in detoxifying harmful substances. However, when the liver is overwhelmed by aflatoxins from rotten food, its ability to function properly is compromised. This can result in severe health issues, including immune deficiency, delayed child growth, and an increased risk of cancer. Pregnant women are particularly at risk, as high levels of these toxins can lead to stunted fetal development or miscarriage.
Despite the nutritional benefits of fresh tomatoes, including their high antioxidant content and their role in heart health and cancer prevention, the risks associated with consuming rotten tomatoes far outweigh these benefits. The National Cancer Institute has linked aflatoxin exposure to an increased risk of liver cancer, underscoring the importance of avoiding contaminated foods.

In regions like sub-Saharan Africa, where hot and humid climates coupled with poor storage practices are common, the risk of aflatoxin contamination in food products is even higher. Researchers have identified aflatoxins as a major public health concern, especially in communities reliant on subsistence farming. Ultimately, the money saved by
purchasing cheaper, rotten. tomatoes could end up being spent on treating life- threatening health conditions. It is essential to prioritize food safety and avoid consuming
spoiled produce to protect your
health and well-being.
