6. Oysters

Seafood is delicious and includes hundreds of varieties. In Asia people eat raw fish and oysters. Oysters are low in cholesterol but provide you with high amounts of lean protein, vitamins A, B and C, minerals, such as iodine, magnesium, copper and zinc. This food is not dangerous as long as it is stored in proper conditions and at a proper temperature. Otherwise they may contain vibrio vilnifucus, a very toxic bacterium. It is easy to kill the bacteria by simply keeping oysters at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. High temperatures of 140 degrees Fahrenheit and above also make oysters safe to eat. Before consuming oysters make sure that they were stored right or/and cooked well.
