What type of items contain selenium?
Plant foods are the major sources of selenium. Brazil nuts are the best natural source (100 grams of nuts provide about 1917 µg of selenium and 3,485% of recommended daily intake). NOTE: You should eat no more than one Brazil nut per day because of their very high selenium content, which can cause toxicity if you eat too much. Other good sources include sunflower seeds, macaroni, crimini mushrooms, and whole grains. The content of selenium in food depends on the selenium content of the soil where plants are grown. For example, soils in the high plains of northern Nebraska and the Dakotas have very high levels of selenium, while soils in some parts of China and Russia have very low amounts of selenium. Likewise, the selenium content of foods can vary. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Composition Database lists the selenium content of Brazil nuts as 544 mcg of selenium per ounce, but values from other analyses vary widely.

What is selenosis?
High blood levels of selenium (>100 mcg/dL) can result in a condition called selenosis. Symptoms of selenosis include gastrointestinal upsets, hair loss, white blotchy nails, garlic breath odor, fatigue, irritability, and mild nerve damage. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences has set a tolerable upper intake level (UL) for selenium at 400 micrograms per day for adults to prevent the risk of developing selenosis. Selenium toxicity is rare in the United States. The few reported cases have been associated with industrial accidents and a manufacturing error that led to an excessively high dose of selenium in a supplement. Brazil nuts contain very high amounts of selenium (68 to 91 mcg per nut), so limit yourself to one nut per day. how do you get rid of selenosis?
