Brazil nuts are very high in selenium.  If you eat more than two a day, every day, you can get selenium toxicity.Just a friendly health advisory. 4951

A serving of yellowfin tuna provides almost double the RDA for selenium. Many types of fish, beef, pork and chicken supply more than 20 percent of the RDA in a typical serving. Other rich sources include cottage cheese, yogurt, brown rice, baked beans, oatmeal, spinach, eggs, whole wheat, grains and dairy products. 4951

Here are 5 health benefits of Brazil nuts for men:Cancer PreventionBrazil nuts may help to lower the risk of cancer by helping to prevent free radical damage to cells. Lab studies with animals have shown that selenium can help inhibit the growth of cancer cells and even induce apoptosis. Selenium may also stimulate the production and function of liver enzymes that help process harmful toxins.Prostate HealthThe magnesium and selenium in Brazil nuts are believed to help promote good prostate health and even decrease the risk of prostate cancer. Experts suggest just 200 mcg of selenium per day to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by as much as 50%.AntioxidantsSelenium can act as an antioxidant when taken alongside other antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E. Brazil nuts can help prevent oxidative stress to the body and decrease the risk of cancer and heart disease. They also contain a good amount of magnesium, another powerful antioxidant.Increased TestosteroneAccording to the National Institutes of Health, selenium can boost testosterone levels in men. It has also been found to increase sperm production and motility.Lower LDL CholesterolSelenium can help lower bad cholesterol levels and thus decrease the risk of blood clots, heart disease and heart attacks in men. Overall, Brazil nuts are considered a benefit to heart health in most men. 4951
