I hope most list members will have caught that one -- it's a

common mistake to believe that there is selenium in Brazil nuts.

 

The nuts you're eating in fact may not impart an anti-cancer

effect at all. Brazil Nuts from Brazil are grown in selenium-rich

soil; these contain selenium. Brazil nuts grown in Central

America are grown in selenium deficient soil and do not contain

selenium.

 

A lot of nuts come from Central America. It's important to know

it and govern accordingly; selenium is the correct antidote to

casual/chronic arsenic exposure. Arsenic is high enough in most

peoples' groundwater to cause statistical increases in the

population of cancer and diabetes. Here you can find out about

your particular region:

You don't want to compound your documented arsenic-induced risk

with inadequate selenium intake; selenium can reduce cancer risk

as the research indicates, due to its incorporation into the

body's master antioxidant and detoxifier, glutathione. For

something of a list of diseases caused and aggravated by low

glutathione, here's a link:
