clams vs oysters

[jrmejia 31]

Until yesterday I thought that clams and oyster were more or less the same. Boy was I wrong. They might taste and look the same but the prove is in the pudding

clams: nutrients in clams

http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/finfish-and-shellfish-products/4184/2

Zinc 0.2mg %DV 2%

Oysters: nutrients in oysters

http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/finfish-and-shellfish-products/4189/2

Zinc 225mg %DV 1502%

The nutrition values in oysters outperform clams in most areas. I used zinc as an example but you can go to both link and do your own comparison.

Go figure.

I thought I used "more or less the same" But I bet you did not read careful because you main concern was to attack.

well, they're in the water, so they're both types of fish.

Clams and oysters are bivalve mollusks that feed through water filtration. Water taken in through a siphon is passed over the gills, which catch organic particles present in the water. Adult clams burrow into muddy, sandy substrate, while oysters prefer to attach themselves to hard surfaces. Both clams and oysters are popular to eat, often raw, steamed or in chowders.

Oysters may make you love longer, but clams make you last longer.

Are you sure about that? the zinc is in the oysters.

I believe that is the mistake of many guys.

Read the charts.

Health Risks from Excessive Zinc

Zinc toxicity can occur in both acute and chronic forms. Acute adverse effects of high zinc intake include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and headaches [2]. One case report cited severe nausea and vomiting within 30 minutes of ingesting 4 g of zinc gluconate (570 mg elemental zinc) [78]. Intakes of 150–450 mg of zinc per day have been associated with such chronic effects as low copper status, altered iron function, reduced immune function, and reduced levels of high-density lipoproteins [79]. Reductions in a copper-containing enzyme, a marker of copper status, have been reported with even moderately high zinc intakes of approximately 60 mg/day for up to 10 weeks [2]. The doses of zinc used in the AREDS study (80 mg per day of zinc in the form of zinc oxide for 6.3 years, on average) have been associated with a significant increase in hospitalizations for genitourinary causes, raising the possibility that chronically high intakes of zinc adversely affect some aspects of urinary physiology [80].

The FNB has established ULs for zinc (Table 3). Long-term intakes above the UL increase the risk of adverse health effects [2]. The ULs do not apply to individuals receiving zinc for medical treatment, but such individuals should be under the care of a physician who monitors them for adverse health effects.

You had quite a day yesterday.

First, you overcame all of personal problems and your relationship fears.

Then, you discovered that clams and oysters are different.

That's as good as it gets!
