Shrimps + Vitamin C=Suicide!!

+
=
FATAL?
I received a fowarded mail:
吃虾的时候喝橙汁等于自杀
虾 + 维生素C= 砒霜
女孩一夜暴毙 台湾,一名女孩突然无缘无故的七孔流血暴毙, 一夜之间,就奔赴黄泉 , 经过初步验尸 . 断定为因砒霜中毒而死亡。
那砒霜从何而来?一名医学院的教授被邀赶来协助破案。 教授仔细地察看了死者胃中取物,不到半个小时,暴毙之谜便揭晓。
教授说:「死者并非自杀,亦不是被杀,而是死于无知的『它杀』」大家莫名其妙。
教授说:「砒霜是在死者腹内产生的。」
死者生前每天也会服食「维他命 C 」, 这完全没有问题问题出在她晚餐吃了大量的虾,吃虾本身也是没有问题的,所以她在家吃了都没有事,但死者却同时服用了「维他命 C 」,问题就出在这里 !
美国芝加哥大学的研究员,通过实验发现,虾等软壳类食物含有大量浓度较高的-五钾砷化合物。 这种物质食入体内,本身对身体并无毒害作用但是,在服用「维生素 C 」之后, 由于化学作用,使原来无毒的-五钾砷 ( 即砷酸酐,亦称五氧化砷,其化学式为 (As2O5) ,转变为有毒的三钾砷 ( 即亚砷酸酐 ) , 又称为三氧化二砷,其化学式为 (As2O3) ,这就是们俗称的砒霜!
砒霜有原浆毒作用,能麻痹毛细血管,抑制巯基梅的活性,并使肝脏脂变肝小叶中心坏死, 心、肝、肾、肠充血,上皮细胞坏死,毛细血管扩张。故中其毒而死者,常是七窍出血。 所以;为慎重起见,在服用维生素 C 期间,应当忌食虾类。
Translation:
In Taiwan, a girl was found dead over a night. It was a myth. After several investigations, the reason was found. The girl has the habit of consuming VITAMIN C each day. On that particular night, she had consume ahugh amount of SHRIMPS in her dinner. It is discovered that the As2O5 in the SHRIMPS has chemical reaction with VITAMIN C and transformed into As2O5(Arsenic) which is poisonous.
Hence, the Arsenic formed in her stomach has caused her sudden death.

From the email forwarded, I had done some findings and discovered that THIS MIGHT NOT BE TRUE!!!!

However, being someone who has the habit of consuming VITAMIN C, i would still take this heed.It might not be true that shrimps+vitamin C could be fatal. However, it is true that certain mixing of food do cause harm to the body. It's better to heed to advice than never!!!
