Lead in your tomatoes, Machines or Ceramic

In the 1700s, tomatoes were blamed for the deaths of some aristocrats, who commonly ate them off plates high in lead content. Since tomatoes are acidic, they easily removed lead from the plates and caused lead poisoning when consumed. Also, tomato plants belong to nightshade family and some members of this family are know to be poisonous. For these reasons, there was much fear in North America and Europe about tomatoes and their safety. Myths and fears continued for a long time, until the late 1800s when the public was finally convinced of their safety and tomato consumption rose.
Neophobia is the fear of or dislike for new and unfamiliar foods.
