Another comment/warning. Brazil nuts are frequently rich in selenium.
Two nuts per day gives you a little more than the RDA for selenium.
More than eight nuts per day puts you at risk of selenium poisoning.

Being alive is a terminal condition.Think of that!
There's a higher risk of dying from being alive than there is eating a
dozen Brazil nuts whilst suffering serious anxiety due to reading the
Daily Mail every day in Cornwall.
