Do the vitamins get dented too?

# no
the vitamin c and other acidic components of tomatoes will corrode the metal on the tin, leading to aluminium contamination of your taomatoes. aluminium has been postulated as a possible factor for increasing the risk of developing alzheimer's disease. undented tine have a microthin and intact plastic coating on the inside of the tin. when tins are dented, the coating gets ripped, thus exposing the aluminium to the acids

[challenge entry] FYI: The spellings of tomato(es)
Singular it's "tomato", and plural it's "tomatoes".

You say tomato and I say tomaaaato.

# but did u know..
that the thin plastic coating is causing men to go sterile, due to the synthetic oestrogens contained within the plastic!! So dented or undented, your gonna lose... unless your female.
