Should tomatoes and cucumbers be eaten together without vinegar?

Supporters argue that enzymes in cucumbers reduce the nutritional value of tomatoes, particularly vitamin C, while others argue that the effect is minimal during normal digestion and has little impact on overall nutrition. Based on nutritional science, digestive physiology, and food chemistry research, should tomatoes and cucumbers be eaten together without vinegar?
