Are tomatoes really bad for you?

According to a bunch of ads on the Internet, tomatoes are supposed to be bad; according to these ads, tomatoes cause arthritis pain. Do they really?
I'm an old lady with osteo arthritis and I eat tomatoes all the time and have never noticed my arthritis pain getting worse. I grow tomatoes in my garden every year so maybe it helps if it's organic, the way I grow them.

Anyone else here have an opinion or experience eating tomatoes? Anyone see or read those ads?

Tomatoes and other nightshade plants contain solanine, which has commonly been blamed for aggravating arthritis. However, there has never been any scientific evidence to back this up. Eat your tomatoes, and make sure you're eating foods that are high in healthy fats.
