Attention! 6 Fruits And Veggies Are Threatening Your Health

1. Tomatoes

Did you know that tomatoes were feared by the Europeans when encountered on their earliest visits to the New World? This suspiciously red-colored fruit seems to signal a red light on those who come close. However, it is not the red, fully-ripened tomatoes they should be wary of, but the unripe ones along with their leaves, roots, and stem. These components of a tomato plant are rich in tomatine, an alkaloid that's mildly toxic to humans and can cause gastrointestinal distress when accidentally eaten.
