I think that tomatoes whilst not causing Arthritis, they can aggravate an
existing condition.
I have found that there is less reaction to Plumb Tomatoes as they have a
much lower acid content.
Regarding nettles and arthritis, there was something on R4. the other day on
this, and they said about there being something in the plant that can reduce
the inflammation caused by the arthritis, and it isn't the sting.
