In terms of tomatoes are generally quite safe to eat. However,overall consumption varies from individual to individual. Indeed, either beneficial or harmful effects of plantsor their derived products are closely related to quality, including the presence of biologically active compounds.On the other hand, the synthesis and accumulation of these bioactive molecules depends on many other fac-tors, such as environmental conditions. In this sense, this review briefly highlights the relationship betweenthe chemistry of tomato and its derived products and their beneficial or harmful effects on human health, suchas gastroesophageal reflux disease or heartburn, allergies, kidney and cardiovascular disorders, prostate cancer,irritable bowel syndrome, lycopenodermia, body aches, arthritis, and urinary problems.
