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?

@Keepitsimple I use those spices too but add the jarred minced garlic instead of garlic powder. love a nice caprese salad in summer too

@saragoodtimes Yummy! I would wind up dumping the whole jar in if I did that. I love garlic 🤦🏻‍♀️.

@Keepitsimple I put garlic in everything. making stuffed mushrooms for tonight with crabmeat,breadcrumbs, oregano,parsley,basil and grated parmesan cheese. topped with mozzarella and baked for about a half hour until the cheese is browned and the mushrooms tender
