| ublx | i recently looked at selenium content of brazil nuts (had been oblivious before) and learned: adult RDA for selenium ~55µg/day; upper tolerable limit ~400µg/day; selenium content of ONE brazil nut ~70-90µg! and selenium toxicity is no joke | 13:55 |
| ublx | wonder who my fellow brazil nut fan was and whether they're still alive :\ | 13:56 |
| pwr22 | He he, the upper limit for those sorts of biologically relevant trace metals tends to be set conservatively and something you need to eat a lot of to really suffer from | 13:58 |
| pwr22 | Though I don't off the top of my head recall that to be true for sure about selenium | 13:59 |
| pwr22 | I would imagine it must be the case though, else brazil nuts would not be considered a food surely 😛 ? | 13:59 |
| ublx | well last summer i ate handfuls of them for lunch and i'm not dead; i did however seek medical attention for generalised malaise that lead to an unrelated diagnosis but which investigation did discover a deranged biochemical marker you'd expect from selenium overconsumption | 14:02 |
| ublx | here's an interesting article the moral of which might be be careful of general supplements being less rigorously regulated than medicinal pharmaceuticals: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3225252/ "Acute Selenium Toxicity Associated With a Dietary Supplement" | 14:03 |
| pwr22 | That's interesting! Did they detect high levels of selenium and was the marker very specific? | 14:03 |
| pwr22 | Seems like it could be not ideal to eat a bunch of them everyday 😧 | 14:03 |
| ublx | in which "200 times the labeled concentration of selenium" was discovered in the supplement (lead to an outbreak of toxicity cases) | 14:03 |
| pwr22 | Zinc is another interesting one, in some cases taking high doses acutely is actually good | 14:04 |
| pwr22 | But if you take the dose a lot of supplements have consistently, you could build up a problematic accumulation 😧 | 14:04 |
| pwr22 | ublx: lol, that's insane | 14:04 |
| ublx | no they had no reason to look for selenium; i mentioned it months later as an explanation for the biochemical marker, having stumbled on the brazil nut selenium content entirely by accident | 14:04 |
| ublx | no the marker was not specific | 14:05 |
| ublx | for selenium; but my rate of brazil nut abuse strongly suggests to me it was a factor | 14:06 |
| pwr22 | He he | 14:07 |
| pwr22 | Maybe we could homogenise you then check your total selenium concentration? (warning: may cause adverse health effects) | 14:07 |
| ublx | that article i linked remarks that metabolism disposes of selenium rather slowly, so i might yet be a useful selenium reservoir! | 14:08 |
| Brainstorm | Updates for Russia: +12915 cases, +35 deaths since 23 hours ago | 14:10 |
