Dr. Shen Yonghua
Oysters, also known as sea oysters. Foods that should not be consumed with oysters:
1. High-tannin foods: Such as pomegranate peel, raw persimmons, etc., should not be eaten with oysters, as tannins may bind with the proteins in oysters and affect digestion and absorption.
2. Cold-natured foods: Oysters themselves are cold in nature; consuming them together with other cold-natured foods such as watermelon and bitter melon may cause diarrhea or abdominal pain.
3. Foods rich in vitamin C: Oysters contain a certain amount of copper, and vitamin C can enhance the body's absorption of copper. Excessive intake of copper may burden the liver. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid consuming large amounts of vitamin C-rich foods at the same time.
4. Acidic foods: Oysters should not be consumed with acidic foods such as lemon or vinegar, to avoid affecting their delicate flavor.
