Have You Heard About This? Do not eat Vitamin C with Shrimp because the combination of these may resulting Poison i.e Arsenic. I noticed the relevancy about these last night because I ate Shrimp during my dinner.After that, i got dessert contains some grapes. As you know,grapes full with vitamin C. Then, in middle of night I got stomach pain. I was so very hard. I was sweat because of that. Luckily I ate these a little only. So, I experienced it already and how about you? Did you and Do you want to experience it? Let's give it a try. It is much better if You eat Orange with Shrimp...hehehehehehehehehe...

I don’t think this would be true always. I think you suffered coz of a reaction between cooked shrimp and the raw grapes. But we often cook a dish of shrimps with lots of tomatoes in it, if fact the tomato pulp forms the basis of the gravy.

Hi there, Maybe what you said is true also.But I keep thinking over the matters,maybe some essence inside Vitamin C reacts on the essence of shrimp may result the poison. I am not say that the poison was so harmful and dangerous. But if we keep eat it freaquently it may result very bad situation. just imagine...Lots of fruit which contains Vitamin C,which contain also some kind of acid,right? hehehe,Just to ensure it. Anyway this is kind of opinion and view.

I think it's a false alarm. Shrimp does not turn into arsenic when combined with Vitamin C. Arsenic is basic element. It does not formed by combining any one thing with any other. It exists as is in the same way gold does. Just as there was no magical philosophers' stone that would enable its user to transform various worthless substances into gold, neither will the combination of shrimp and Vitamin C tablets produce arsenic.

it maybe false,it maybe also true.just to open the discussion because sometimes the more discussion we've made the more information we can shared. i am not sure whether the poison is arsenic or else but i am sure something harmful from the mixture of those may harm our stomach. something poison.
