my aunt phoned me just this week to tell me about the good effects of eating raw tomatoes. not only is it good for the skin but also for fighting and preventing cancer! :)

trust me, they really work wonders for your skin. take this, when i had chicken pox, i really cant help but scratch my face which ended up having scars. my mom made me drink tomato juice as well as make me eat raw tomatoes. miraculously, the scars were gone and now, i am a believer of the great effects of tomatoes.

well, just a little suggestion, maybe you should also try to steam fry your tomatoes along with other veggies because there have been studies that we can maximize the benefits of the lycopene we get from tomatoes by heating them. :)

Yes, I love raw tomatoes! I eat them in salads raw, and also I had a thing of cherry tomatoes that I bought and they looked so good I ate some plain right out of the container. I had heard they were very good for you but didn't know exactly why. Good to hear about the cancer :)
Raw tomatoes are yummy and healthy!

well, i'd also like to add that tomatoes have lycopene which are also good for the skin. they aid in making the skin look so glowing and young looking. :) made you want to eat more tomatoes, right? :)

How else do you eat them? :S Cook them, boil them, bake them, throw them in the oven, microwave them? I just always eat them raw, either in salad or sliced with pepper and salt. Especially the last is absolutely awesome in taste.
