Eating too many tomatoes in one sitting has some kind of very slight but unpleasant psychoactive effect on the system ime. They also don't digest all that well if eaten without a fibrous grain

Aztecs strictly limited how much pulque you could drink. I think it was was two servings per day with stiff consequences if you drank more

That tracks as pulque is highly fermented and probiotic and would probably severely throw the GI biome off of calibration if had in excess, like kombucha. Would probably be a serious long term issue in an era without modern medical science too

I think pulque in particular was also supposed to be a ritual drink and not an everyday beverage

Not only were Romans not sand people but the territories they occupied on the northern coast of Africa such as Carthage or the Maghreb were also mostly fair skinned. St Augustine was supposed to be pale and he was born in Northern Africa iirc

The Mediterranean coast of Africa didn't become dark until droughts and conflicts causes population movements from the south to push Berbers and various other future Islamic tribes north to displace the Roman/Phoenician/Hellenic Egyptian populations that had settled that area for centuries

They didn't look like blonde nordics and this is well documented in historical accounts at the time but they were also not hairy and were fairly fair skinned and of moderate height

Many European whites can be in the sun regularly and not become any darker than maybe a brass complexion

Classical Greeks and the Romans were both fair skinned. Swarthy Italians are mostly Sicilian and this comes from Arab admixture

Tomatoes were domesticated in America; however, the original site of domestication and the early events of domestication are largely obscure (Peralta and Spooner, 2007). Two hypotheses have been advanced for the original place of tomato domestication, one Peruvian and the other Mexican. Although definite proof for the time and place of domestication is lacking, Mexico is presumed to be the most probable region of domestication, with Peru as the centre of diversity for wild relatives (Larry and Joanne, 2007).
