Oysters (Kaki in Japanese restaurants) can be eaten raw, but you should take into account that they contain an enormous amount of zinc and copper (and also too much sodium if you are
susceptible to acne).
High levels of any metal is harmful. Specifically high levels of zinc increase skin cell proliferation, which will cause the skin to 'tighten'. This may look good, but can also pinch off sebum canals, causing sub-cutaneous inflammations. |
