Why shouldn’t shrimp and prawn heads be sucked?

this is the case of prawns and prawns, since in their heads is where substances such as cadmium and mercury accumulate

it is healthy to eat their meat but the recommendation of all doctors is not to suck the heads (they are not good for uric acid either)
cadmium and mercury tend to accumulate in the body for 10 to 30 years and if levels are high they can cause kidney and liver problems

so now that dates are approaching where the consumption of prawns and prawns increases, it is good to know this and enjoy them, but don’t eat their heads
