Selenium (was high fructose ads & about LA - PUFA and Mercury)

[Guest guest]

Adequate selenium to control mercury for me was only 2 brazil nuts daily -

however, depending on brand sometimes 2 wasn't nearly enough. If I got

less than that for 3 days in a row, the mercury would hit back and hard.

Once I figured I'd show it and had a huge amount of selenium (I have no idea

how much, I just binged on brazil nuts) - it just made myself lightheadedly

dizzy and didn't give me any more than 3 days. I agree with : better to

get it out than just pacify it.
