A member asked:

Is it true that tomatoes are bad for osteoarthritis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There is no diet, dietary supplement , or specific food that has been shown conclusively to affect osteoarthritis. If tomatoes or any other food affects your individual arthritis you should avoid it.
