First, try to avoid this phenomenon and do not eat them together. Because tomatoes contain a lot of vitamins, especially vitamin C, and shrimp and other seafood contain pentavalent arsenic compounds. When a large amount of vitamin C and arsenic is taken in, When the compound is added, the two will react and turn into toxic trivalent arsenic (that is, what we often call "arsenic"), which can cause human body poisoning. It is recommended that you do not eat this way, and do not eat shrimp and other seafood with persimmons. Can cause poisoning.?

Second, an American scientific researcher discovered through experiments that shrimp and other soft-shell foods contain a large amount of pentapotassium arsenic compounds with high concentrations. This substance itself has no toxic effect on the human body when ingested. However, after taking vitamin C, due to chemical effects, the originally non-toxic pentapotassium arsenic (i.e. arsenic anhydride, also known as arsenic pentoxide, its chemical formula is AS2O5) is transformed into toxic tripotassium arsenic (i.e. arsenic anhydride) , also known as arsenic trioxide, its chemical formula is AS2O3, which is commonly known as arsenic.

Third, it is said that tomatoes, which are rich in vitamin C, are dangerous when eaten together with shrimps. In this regard, Haidu interviewed relevant experts from the Fuzhou Municipal Agriculture Bureau. He believed that this statement lacked relevant scientific research and research reports from the food supervision department. Under certain conditions, the acid component in tomatoes causes the pentapotassium arsenic compound in shrimp to produce free arsenic ions, which in turn combine to produce highly toxic arsenic pentoxide (that is, arsenic). However, there are no relevant scientific reports on the amount of arsenic produced due to the amount of tomatoes and shrimp, and there is no scientific report on the amount of arsenic that can cause poisoning in the human body. Therefore, eating tomatoes and then eating shrimp will produce arsenic. Said there is insufficient scientific basis.
