Tomato

[mikeyB]

Nobody should eat tinned tomatoes, the tomatoes react badly with the lining of the tin. I never eat them now yet used to love them on cheese on toast. Damn it. 🙂[/QUOTE

Absolute nonsense. They wouldn't be allowed on sale if that were true. It's all very well advising folk with truth, but not utter rubbish. Eat your tinned tomatoes with confidence.

I love them on toast with a poached egg ((-:

That does sound good. My lunch tomorrow! 🙂

I suspect that @Ditto may be remembering the fuss a while back about bisphenol-A in food packaging and tinned goods. It appears to be one of those periodic food 'scares' that generates a lot of publicity. However, the Food Standards Agency has investigated and they are deemed to be safe:

Is BPA in food harmful?
Minute amounts of BPA can transfer from packaging into food and drinks, but independent experts have advised that these levels of exposure are not considered to be harmful. Independent studies have shown that, even when consumed at high levels, BPA is rapidly absorbed, detoxified, and eliminated from humans.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has reduced the tolerable daily intake (TDI) to address the current uncertainties surrounding the potential health effects of BPA.The current exposure to BPA from food contact materials is considerably below the new TDI and therefore is not a health concern. The TDI is the estimated quantity of a chemical substance that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without posing an appreciable risk to health.

LOL I knew people would have summat to say. I'm still not having them though. I saw the programme recently and it put me off. I did used to luv them on cheese on toast but I can't eat bread now neither. Cripes, all the things I can't eat, if I wasn't of such a sunny disposition I might get depressed. 😉

Forgot to say...the main reason I don't eat them is they shoot my blood sugar up big time!

No, it's not the things you can't eat, Ditto it's the things you won't, or don't eat, according to strictures imposed by the latest food guru. There's a difference.

There's tons of things I want to eat but I can't now due to being T2. They were bad for my figure anyway though. Steak pud, chips, mushy peas and gravy comes to mind. Nothing to do with dieting. I'm happy being fat really, I'm used to it, it's my natural state.

I find tinned toms do affect my BG but it's not major. Something like 1-1.5mmol.

I may give them another whirl sometime and see how I go. Maybe next time I go to Blackpool, there's always tinned toms on the go there. 🙂

Ive been testing tinned Toms n cheese as one of my breakfast options and seem be fine with my sugars. Baked beans not so, not even low salt and sugar versions

I am ok with both.

Beans shot me through the roof! No more beans! I luv melted cheese with tinned tomato but on toast which I can't have. I'm fed-up today, all the things I now can't have. I've been lurking outside the chippy. The smell wafts into the bungalow bedroom window as we're adjacent. 🙄
