Should I Cut Back On Brazil Nuts?

I’ve recently heard that can contribute to hair loss and high levels of radioactivity. The recommended daily dose is about 3 of them. I’ve been eating quite a lot of these every day for the last 5 years… probably 10 or more a day. Although I knew I might have been eating a lot, I thought to myself, “well they’re nuts, so how bad could they be?” and what would I be eating instead?

Is it worth cutting down on them? and say, maybe just eat more veg or yoghurt in their place? Because I really like them?

 

That does sound like a lot. There are lots of other nuts you could be eating instead. I personally like to snack on almonds or cashews.

 

i know brazil nuts are big, but 10 a day still doesn't sound like anything too significant. what is that, a large handful?

 

Well Brazil nuts are a very high source of Selenium....and although Selenium in small doses is in fact good for the hair...too much can have a negative effect and yes it can lead to hair loss.....So go steady else you'll end up like Kojak.
