OYSTERS

Shellfish, in general, are an excellent source of zinc, calcium, copper, iodine, iron, potassium, and selenium. But the creamy flesh of oysters stands apart for its ability to elevate testosterone levels and protect against prostate cancer.

HOW TO BUY OYSTERS

At the supermarket: Buy from the same beds that a chef stakes his reputation on. Sandy Ingber, executive chef and seafood buyer for Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York City, buys Blue Point, Chincoteague, Glidden Point, Narragansett Bay, Pemaquid, and Wellfleet oysters in the winter months. During summer, he buys Coromandel oysters from New Zealand. The reason for the seasonal shift: More than three-quarters of food illness outbreaks involving raw oysters occur in the Northern Hemisphere's warmwater months. At home: Eat only thoroughly cooked oysters. If you must slurp, do so only after following the buying advice above.
