Tomatoes are good for you – just don’t eat too many.

Local tomatoes in season are delicious – but don’t get carried away. 

Because they are highly acidic, eating too many tomatoes could lead to acid reflux. Dr. Gina Sam, of the Mount Sinai Gastrointestinal Motility Center, says over an extended period of time, this can cause Barrett’s Esophagus, a disorder in which precancerous lesions form on esophageal lining. The same is true for eating too many oranges. Dr. Sam suggests sticking to no more than two servings of oranges or tomatoes a day and avoiding these foods altogether if you already have symptoms of reflux.
