==Special Precautions of Brazil nuts==
*Brazil nuts are high in [[selenium]] and an ounce (roughly half a dozen) provides 800 micrograms. That's about double the US recommended tolerable upper limit. Overindulging regularly could lead to selenium toxicity. Symptoms may include a metallic taste, garlic odor on the breath, hair loss, brittle nails, fatigue, nausea, rash, diarrhea, runny nose, cough and nerve pain. Selenium-containing supplements are another potential source of this mineral.* they are also rich in ([[Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA)]]).
