I just received my first order of Brazil Nuts from Amazon. I finally get to taste Brazil Nuts for the first time ever. Because, it’s my 1st time, I started with 3 pieces, but I ended up eating three more before I seal the bag and put it away. But of course, beginning tomorrow, I’ll be doing the 3 a day recommended amount. Thank you. Bow!

I was eating a lot. Let's be honest they are good. And I bought straight from Bolivia. Basically I could live eating nuts. What doctor said is true I did not do resarch but I overdose them:)
Anyway normal food you can overdose and consequences are not as bad as overdosing synthetic substances. I do not say it's good but it's wider comfort zone to eat a pound of brazil nuts daily than to overdose just selenium or just calcium and so on.

[sandracanedo]

They actually from Bolivia and Brazil, I used to eat more than 3 when I was young, they are delicious.

Have been eating 1 every morning with my black coffee. I'm on much less thyroid hormones now. I've reduced both my T3 and T4 doses since doing it! About half of normal or less

Doctor. I understand Brazil Nut is not a Nut but a seed and the brown skin is a protection mechanism for the seed, as with all others. I usually remove the brown skin and than put it in Water overnight and then my wife eats it first thing in the morning daily.

Dr Steven Gundry, the Brazil nut is it good for me as a high URIC ACID?

[m.alvarez]

Thanks a lot, Dr Gundry. Your information is always valuable and welcome.

[jamescunningham]

My wife had thyroid cancer and had it removed 100% is it okay for her to have!¡!!!

[marksturgess]

Brazil nuts are excellent for health as are most nuts. Hazel nuts excellent for vit e. Pine nuts, walnuts & macadamia all good sources of healthy nutrients.

Large one a days enough. I personally feel. With good nutrition elsewhere in the diet, you get easily enough. Even if you're Vegan.

I eat 1 or 2 a day; I am concerned about the high omega 6 in them; as I am still trying to narrow down all my inflammation sources (I get far too much omega 6; but I have reduced it substantially; closer to what might be called "normal").

[TedNLouTherapy-csly]

I often make Brazil nut milk, wonderful with coffee, it’s alkaline so great anti inflammatory god bless 💕

[dominikstrecker]

Phytic acid is known as an “anti-nutrient”. Most nuts contain more phytic acid than grains and legumes. This can be problematic for some because phytic acid binds to minerals and essential nutrients, inhibiting absorption. It binds to selenium, zinc, iron, magnesium, calcium, chromium, manganese, and copper.

[JayaPatel-pl]

Hello doctor, are we suppose to soak it water or roast them. When can I take the nuts . Thank you.

[MPMChitChat]

Try to get organic Brazils and eat no more than 20 per week.

Peel / scrape the skins off of Brazils as well.

[davidverlaney]

I've been eaten two or three Brazil nuts a day for over a year and now I'm being told it's bad if if I don't get the skin off of them? And they're hindering my vitamins and minerals absorption?

[stevenrobertson]

Brazil nuts always cause me to have skin breakouts on my face. I've tried them a few times. Never again.

Selenium is toxic but not the nuts if you eat 1 or 2 a day,
