Fixup for OOPS! (For Everyone) / was OT: Question /Help?

[Guest guest]

I noticed that selenium has sources I would not want to find, but

also picked up on the Brazil nut part and was about to post this, I

found out last year when I was trying to up my selenium intake and

discovered Brazil nut of all things to be the best source of

selenium. So much so that warnings were issued. When I got a bunch of

them last year I was shocked to find out that Brazil nut have more

than anything else. Imagine that.

 

 

It depends on the selenium in the soil but here is one article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_nut

 

-------------------

This National Institutes of Health article mentions No'No's

Basically it says, because I left the bad parts out.

 

Brazil nuts, dried, unblanched, 1 ounce 544 micrograms 780% Daily

Value

 

Selenium content of foods can vary. For example, Brazil nuts may

contain as much as 544 micrograms of selenium per ounce. They also

may contain far less selenium. It is wise to eat Brazil nuts only

occasionally because of their unusually high intake of selenium.

 

Here is the link if you dare read it.

I left the good part of Pat's reply message. Thanks Pat for being so

good for us!
