The red veggie is known as the best source of lycopene, an essential nutrient, but beware of the canned variety. All canned food contains the harmful chemical BPA, but it's especially concerning in tomatoes, whose acidity causes the BPA to cling on. It's not the tomatoes that are bad, It's the way they're stored. If fresh isn't an option, look for tomatoes in glass jars or BPA-free cardboard containers.
