I see no point for this because there are so many natural variety to choose from. There is literally close a 10,000 open pollinated variety floating around in the world right now, and more everyday. They all have different shape, color and taste. There&#39;s even ones that have slight spicy flavor if the growing condition is right, although not to the level of pepper. There is some variety with spicy leaves, but it hasn&#39;t worked itself into the fruit.</p> <p>Sorry Dr. Gundry, but I&#39;m not going to stop eating tomatoes.</p>
