Do not eat bitter melon with shrimp
Shrimp contains small amounts of organic arsenic (arsenic pentavalent), often not harmful to health.However, bitter melon contains a lot of vitamin C. When combined, vitamin C can convert arsenic pentavalent into asen Trivalent (arsenic) - a very toxic substance that causes serious poisoning.
Although the amount of arsenic in shrimp is usually not enough to be dangerous, combining with bitter melon may increase the risk of arsenic poisoning.Therefore, to ensure safety, it is best to avoid eating bitter melon with shrimp.In addition, some people think that the combination of bitter melon and shrimp can cause digestive problems such as bloating, indigestion due to the welding of bitter melon and the warmth of shrimp.
