Very high in selenium. I gave myself a rash after overindulging. Apparently 2 per day is the recommended dose.

They are high in selenium which 2-4 nuts will take you over the daily limit.

Would like to say that Tomatoes are a Fruit. We are not to eat seeds of fruit because they are poisonous. That’s why they are bad to eat and banned in some countries. When did cancer explode in the U.S.? When we stopped using Lard and started using seed oils.

There are 2 types of arthritis. Just like diabetes. One is caused by what we eat.

Yes, they do. It’s call “Child Labor”. They (the children) get sick and die, but we (the US consumer) don’t care because we’re told it’s health food.

Correction, Selenium is NOT a heavy metal, it’s an essential trace mineral and is needed in small doses. You’ve stated that it’s a heavy metal, not so. Don’t mislead the people. Obviously what’s happened here is that the person ate too many brazil nuts which caused selenium poisoning and toxicity. People need to educate themselves instead of thinking they can eat so much of something.
