According to a google search, "the only natural food sources are shellfish shells from shrimp, lobster and crabs". So I wonder if you can see a significant effect in people who eat a lot of shrimp.



Interesting, I'm vegan and the glucosamine I've ordered has claimed to be sourced from a fungus. Perhaps the fungus isn't edible (hence, it's not a natural food source)


The fungus probably isn't normally eaten. Shrimp shells aren't exactly a treat.


Well if it is truly only in the shells, then probably not!


A lot of shrimp recipes have you cook the shells in oil for extra flavor. This one is a personal favorite:

Seriously. Get some good shrimp, some garlic, and go to town on some crusty bread. It's one of the recipes I'd still eat even if it took time off my life, it's just so damn good.


My favorite sushi restaurant in San Mateo, CA (sushi sams) would serve a single fried shrimp appetizer with the head still on. It's a crispy tasty delight!


also, the really small shrimp are just cooked and eaten with the shell


Eating shrimp shell-on and fried is fairly common in a lot of countries


at least the small ones are very tasty (& crunchy) eaten this way


Well I’m vegan but that is good to know thanks.
