Dangerous Tomatoes?

I have stopped eating tomatoes. It all started with the Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type diet which I tried after watching my cousin have quite a bit of success with it. My blood type is B (Rh factor is immaterial on this diet) and I learnt that tomatoes contain a lectin that can be dangerous and type B's should avoid anything with tomatoes in it. Yikes, that means no ketchup.

Anyway, after i stopped eating tomatoes, my acidity problems disappeared and the occasional acid reflux is gone as well. The interesting thing is that its the same story with my father (type B) and my younger brother (type O).

Being brought up in a culture where fruits and vegetables are regarded as healthy food, especially tomatoes, it was more difficult mentally. Interestingly, all the heartburn medicine commercials show people eating pizza or pasta or something very tomatoey. Interesting?
