Rain Barrel water...

Hi
I have been looking around at rain barrels and want to get one. My question is, we have asphalt roofing tiles. Some of the stuff I've read says that the water from these roofs are ok to use for vegetables, but others say that its really really bad. I still want to do one, at least for my flowers, but I'm wondering if it's safe or not for the veggies?
Thanks

Someone else posted this exact question three days ago:

It helps to check under Search the Forum first (I typed rain barrel into the Keyword Box that comes up when you click on Search the Forum above to find this back) to avoid this kind of duplication.
