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