Care for your heart. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, which, like lycopene, is linked to reducing the risk of heart disease. Most of the vitamin C is concentrated in the jelly-like substance that encases the seeds.
Potential Health Benefits. Other benefits of consuming tomatoes that are not as clearly established include reduced risk of certain cancers, obesity, Type-2 diabetes, osteoporosis and kidney stones. Lung, stomach and prostate cancers are the types that appear to benefit most from the nutrients in tomatoes. Eating raw tomatoes also has an anti-inflammatory effect, which may be helpful for autoimmune conditions, prostate enlargement and certain types of arthritis.
