Eating tomato seeds causes cancer.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 4 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that eating tomato seeds causes cancer?

Unclear. Several retrieved items associate tomato and seed consumption with reduced cancer risk rather than increased risk, but none directly examines whether eating tomato seeds causes cancer. The evidence only partially addresses the claim and does not settle it.
