I just received my first order of Brazil Nuts from Amazon. I finally get to taste Brazil Nuts for the first time ever. Because, it’s my 1st time, I started with 3 pieces, but I ended up eating three more before I seal the bag and put it away. But of course, beginning tomorrow, I’ll be doing the 3 a day recommended amount. Thank you. Bow!

[@sandracanedo2556]

They actually from Bolivia and Brazil, I used to eat more than 3 when I was young, they are delicious.

[@miketilton6393]

They sure are!

[@piotrtenebr5830]

I was eating a lot. Let's be honest they are good. And I bought straight from Bolivia. Basically I could live eating nuts. What doctor said is true I did not do resarch but I overdose them:) Anyway normal food you can overdose and consequences are not as bad as overdosing synthetic substances. I do not say it's good but it's wider comfort zone to eat a pound of brazil nuts daily than to overdose just selenium or just calcium and so on.

[@jenniferpeterson5206]

Have been eating 1 every morning with my black coffee. I'm on much less thyroid hormones now. I've reduced both my T3 and T4 doses since doing it! About half of normal or less

[@maryanafsahi3530]

Incredible. I am very happy for you

[@JayaPatel-p6l]

Hello ma'am , which is the best Brazil nuts?. Thank you.

[@jenniferpeterson5206]

@user-zc3wd7ol3j whatever you find in your grocery store is fine. Pop then in the freezer so they don't go rancid. They don't freeze solid so they're still soft enough to eat

[@akashjaiswal4030]

​@@jenniferpeterson5206 What about hight TSH levels

[@m.alvarez5517]

Thanks a lot , Dr Gundry. Your information is always valuable and welcome.

Did you buy the book?

[@m.alvarez5517]

Yes.I have the last two. They are very good!@@tourzrap

[@hometypist1966]

Doctor. I understand Brazil Nut is not a Nut but a seed and the brown skin is a protection mechanism for the seed, as with all others. I usually remove the brown skin and than put it in Water overnight and then my wife eats it first thing in the morning daily.

[@jonathanlamostre293]

Dr Steven Gundry,the Brazil nut is it good for me as a high URIC ACID?

[@marksturgess2040]

Brazil nuts are excellent for health as are most nuts. Hazel nuts excellent for vit e. Pine nuts, walnuts & macadamia all good sources of healthy nutrients.

[@AkronKid330]

Chestnuts

[@ItsBrown__]

More like deez nuts ​@@AkronKid330

[@Globetrotter-1]

I often eat about fifty Brazil nuts at a time. All this scaremongering about toxicity is ridiculous. I also eat large amounts of all types of nuts on a regular basis, such as cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts etc. Extremely nutritious and healthy.

[@marksturgess2040]

@@Globetrotter-1 I agree. 50 Brazil nuts though, that's a lot of calories

[@Globetrotter-1]

@@marksturgess2040 Anyone who counts calories needs their heads testing. I've never counted them in my life. Never go on fad 'diets', never count amounts of protein/carbs/vitamins/minerals that I consume. I eat when I'm hungry and consume and drink whatever I desire. Life is meant to be happy and enjoyable. I consume a very wide variety of foods so I always have more than enough nutrients to remain perfectly healthy without a single supplement.

[@dickyboyryw]

Large one a days enough. I personally feel. With good nutrition elsewhere in the diet, you get easily enough. Even if you're Vegan.

[@Arek_R.]

There is selenium in the veggies as well.

[@dominikstrecker6773]

Phytic acid is known as an “anti-nutrient”. Most nuts contain more phytic acid than grains and legumes. This can be problematic for some because phytic acid binds to minerals and essential nutrients, inhibiting absorption. It binds to selenium, zinc, iron, magnesium, calcium, chromium, manganese, and copper.

[@maryanafsahi3530]

Why is doctor gundry not making any comments, to your quote? It's interesting what you just have sais

[@postalinVT]

Supposedly..... soaking the brazil nuts in water over night reduces the Phytic acid. VERY disappointed Gundry didn't touch on this topic at all.

[@catitude4]

Easier to get a suppliment than soaking nuts and baking them.

[@jamescunningham4180]

My wife had thyroid cancer and had it removed 100% is it okay for her to have!¡!!!

[@awillis244]

Good info; thank you Doc

[@TedNLouTherapy-cs8ly]

I often make Brazil nut milk, wonderful with coffee, it’s alkaline so great anti inflammatory god bless 💕

[@Chippoka]

I eat 1 or 2 a day; I am concerned about the high omega 6 in them; as I am still trying to narrow down all my inflammation sources (I get far too much omega 6; but I have reduced it substantially; closer to what might be called "normal").

[@JasonBuckman]

Consume it with some flax and/or fish.

Just found out Brazil nuts might be toxic after I practically inhaled a bulk batch. On the bright side, if I start glowing, I'll save a fortune on light bulbs! 😂

[@DeKKH]

I eat them like candy 😳 I guess I better stop.

[@MPM6785ChitChat]

Try to get organic Brazils and eat no more than 20 per week. Peel / scrape the skins off of Brazils as well.

[@davidverlaney7764]

I've been eaten two or three Brazil nuts a day for over a year and now I'm being told it's bad if if I don't get the skin off of them? And they're hindering my vitamins and minerals absorption?

[@bubblybull2463]

If I was eating everything Dr Gundry wants me to eat every day, I’d be broke and I would need three more stomacs to digest it all (or be a cow) 😂

[@Believefor]

Only eat one or two a day

[@rhondaickowski3828]

Hello, Do I buy them raw? Should I soak them overnight or toast them? Thank you.

[@ytofficial852]

Soak overnight otherwise u might experience acidity problems. I bought them from Kitchen Jungle online from amazon

Brazil nuts always cause me to have skin breakouts on my face. I've tried them a few times. Never again.

Thank you Doc👍🏻

[@maryanafsahi3530]

I love Brazil nuts. If you over do it, let's say if you eat around 15 of them , it's equal to a chest xray, although I do love them, without the brown skin

[@maryanafsahi3530]

Hi. Thank you. I do tons of research. Half of the time when I write a comment, no one wants to know , so I usually, don't make a comment

[@sikhpilot.]

How does it compare to an xray exactly. Do you mean radiation or cell damage etc?

Hello doctor , are we suppose to soak it water or roast them. When can I take the nuts . Thank you.

[@98giovanniesl]

I almost ate the whole bag 😮 from Amazon

[@gman_5312]

Good information thx

[@kelseymj1975]

My understanding was that the daily recommendation is 55mcg a day but the max is 100mcg a day. I guess you're talking about special cases where there's a deficit causing thyroid issues?

[@talu1999]

I just ate about 5, is that going to do anything? What’s the impact?

[@crh251]

One time won’t do anything. If you did that daily, then they can be toxic.

[@jeebangurung7014]

Good advice 1 2 brazil nuts per day are good.

[@traceler]

Selenium is toxic but not the nuts if you eat 1 or 2 a day,

[@Luckiecchi]

I been eating 4-5 a day since Saturday November 18 2023. I hope I'm safe. I ate 6-7 on Sunday night. I better stop for a few days, they're dry in a bag. How long should I stop eating them before it is safe again to eat 3 a day?

[@bgueberdenteich5206]

Not good in Math ? Listen to the good doctor ! I would just eat 2 to three daily.

My question is, how many do the people eat where they are grown, seems to me since they've been growing them and eating them for thousands of years, eating the amount they eat daily,,would be a better marker.

[@Forever_Laura]

3 a day is fine for selenium... unfortunately for everything else mentioned you'll have to eat a heck of a lot more which will give you selenium toxicity - so disregard everything mentioned in this video besides selenium at 3 nuts per day

[@august4633]

You’re assuming Brazil nuts is your only source of the other things mentioned. Which it (hopefully) isn’t. It’s like saying the protein in potatoes doesn’t matter because if you only eat potatoes you probably won’t get enough protein. Most people eat other foods and they all add up.

[@Graymanone]

What about those with hypothyroidism?

[@goodbonezz1289]

Sounds like he addressed that…eat 2-3 Brazil nuts daily to help thyroid function. That’s what I just started doing. Best of luck.

[@dfinite1111]

Oxalates!!! Hoo boy, Brazil nuts gave me such kidney stones. Took months to expel.

[@honeybunch1143]

How many did you eat?

[@vitoscatigno4207]

Whenever he talks about nuts he never mentions whether they are raw or roasted, once nuts are roasted you may as well use them for fertilizer because roasting kills all the nutrients.

[@dennisward43]

how?

[@tourzrap]

What do you mean ‘how’? Because of the cooking process…

[@dennisward43]

@@tourzrap A lot of food is roasted but that doesn't mean all their nutrients are killed. It may reduce them in nuts but it certainly won't kill them all off.
