Hi, i put 8 brazil nuts in a green smoothie, should i be worried about selenium toxicity? i don't take any selenium suppl and i never ate the nuts b4

Do not worry: Enjoy these nuts and do not worry, you will not have any selenium toxicity from 8 of them. Just know that, they are high in calories! they have plenty of good oils and vitamins.
