Every other video tells you Europe feared the tomato because they
thought it was poison. That part is true. But here is what none
of them tell you.
People were actually dying. Real deaths. Wealthy, educated,
powerful people falling ill and dying after meals that included
tomatoes. And the tomato had nothing to do with it.
The real killer was sitting right underneath it the whole time.
On their dinner table. In plain sight. For 200 years.
