Here is a link to what Whole Foods have to say about Selenium:-

whfoods.com/genpage.php?tna...

I eat 4 Brazil nuts a day, and have now been informed that my zinc supplement, must be taken at a different time of the day, I already know about my iron supplements, as I am dreadfully anemic.

Also just a reminder about the toxic fluoride added to our water, I did post a few links about it.

I am trying to learn verbatim, exactly what it contains, aluminium, cement, lead, arsenic, fluorosilic acid, radioactive materials, phosphate.

This was the link that I posted, and an incredibly interesting read:-

Thank you again for the 'timings' reminder... fitting everything in each day can be like formulating a 'Critical Path Analysis' ;-)

It seems and it is great that you do not have difficulties with 4 brazils each day. I did, however, pretty much overdose on 5 - 6 a day [plus what is in even a multi-vit; manufacturers often overload our RDA % requirements]... I've since checked it out.

The link is very good and, obviously, obtaining our vits/mins from food seems totally preferable [albeit how fresh is the food we get...?]; that could go for almost everything we supplement. The warning from the link is however clear:

"The authors did, however, warn that Brazil nuts are not uniform in their selenium content and may contain much more or much less than the estimated 50 micrograms per nut. No more than one or two Brail nuts should be consumed daily to avoid excessive accumulation of selenium in tissues. Practical Tip: Enjoy just one Brazil nut each day and help ensure that you get your daily requirement for selenium."

Link doesn't work for me, says "web page not found" :(

I didn't know that about not taking selenium and zinc at the same time. I tend to take both of those in the evening as I read selenium should be taken with fat and my evening meal tends to be the fattiest meal of the day. I'll make sure I take my zinc supplement with my lunchtime meal instead.

Thanks.

I had the same difficulty SeasideS. Click on the link in your email, not on here, and if you follow langdocienne, that is how you will see the link.
