"Detoxifying" zinc?

- Zinc, like many other metals, is harmful in high concentrations. See zinc article. -- Yzx (talk) 03:41, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Eating the liver
editSo if a person has near liver failure (no cure other than transplant) and eats this fish's liver, his/her liver will become okay? Like a medicine? --33rogers (talk) 02:47, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- No, that would not happen. -- Yzx (talk) 03:41, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
