Ping to you on post #20.
Sorry, to post #19.
if you’re in the midwest take selenium
the soils here are deficient, most people here have a deficiency of it and require supplementing
I love shrimp and lobster, but you can keep your seaweed.
Taking too much selenium can increase your cholesterol by almost 10 percent.
what’s too much?
This has probably already been posted on FR but here’s an article discussing an association between selenium status and COVID-19.
https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/111/6/1297/5826147
From this article:
https://www.livescience.com/43566-selenium-supplements-facts.html
“The Institute of Medicine’s Food and Nutrition Board caps the safe daily intake of selenium at 45 micrograms for infants, 60 to 90 micrograms in toddlers, 150 to 280 micrograms in prepubescent children and 400 micrograms in adults.”
That article references many studies, but most don’t give a dosage.
I don’t know what’s too much selenium but I have read, I think it was Dr Mercola, the best source for your body is to eat two Brazil nuts per day. No more than two.
Thank you for that. I have not seen it posted here.
How do you know that this paper isn’t correct and either lack of selenium or too much iodine, with both creating an imbalance, isn’t the cause?
