WHY IT’S GOOD FOR YOU
Scallops are an excellent source of Vitamin B12 which is needed by our body to convert homocysteine (a chemical that can directly damage blood vessel walls) into other benign chemicals. High levels of homocysteine are associated with an increased risk for atherosclerosis, diabetic heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. Homocysteine is also associated with osteoporosis, and a recent study found that osteoporosis occurred more frequently among women whose vitamin B12 status was deficient or marginal compared with those who had normal B12 statusIn addition to their B12, scallops are a good source of magnesium and potassium, two other nutrients that provide significant benefits for the cardiovascular system.
