There's a brochuree issued by : www.healthychoices.ukhq.co.uk/
Which lists tomatoes as to be avoided. Yet apples (high acid
content) and
cider vinegar (!) are recommended.

Why should the advice of a firm trying to flog a vitamin and mineral
tonic(1) necessarily be regarded as good?

(1) containing, according to the website: 61 essential and trace
minerals, 9 essential vitamins, 17 amino acids, 30 vital enzymes,
and
fulvates(2).

(2) As I didn't know what "fulvates" are, a word not in my SOED, I
looked it up with Google. The first site I came to was of a firm
selling
what they term "Health Care Nutritionals"!

So, are you ready for this?

"Essential and vital to nutrition, fulvates are nature's life force
energy. Invisible to the naked eye, these microscopic electrolytes
empower all living organisms. Without fulvates, virtually all
land-based
life could not exist. Their immense source of electrical energy
supports
revitalizing cell metabolism, a significant increase in organ
respiration rates, and boosts overall health potential. Fulvates are
water-based organic electrolytes (substances that dissolve in water
and
are capable of conducting an electrical charge). Fulvates are
composed
of low-weight or small molecular substances secreted by
microorganisms
in the soil enabling plants to provide life force energy to plants
and
animals."

I'll go for tomatoes rather than for that bullshit..

I think I'll just go down the garden and eat some more of the
excellent
tomatoes growing in the polytunnel. Who knows, some of the fulvates
in
my soil might have got into them :-)
