No I haven't mentioned it, thanks for asking.
The iodine protocol recommends 200-400 mcg/day of selenium. Being zero carb I'll shoot for half that and go from there based on experimentation, so about 100 mcg per day. One brazil nut contains ~90 mcg of selenium, pretty close in my book. One oz. of liver: 11 mcg. To get the higher numbers I would end up with vitaminosis A.
one cup of coconut meat would still only provide 8.1 mcg of selenium, following me up with 5g of sugar, an unrealistic way to reach those higher selenium numbers (that may not be necessary, but this is in the spirit of experimentation).
The only thing with brazil nuts is that in a 5g kernel, 1g of that is omega 6 fatty acids. Eating my 1/2 pound of beef fat daily is still only 5g of omega 6, and 2g of omega 3's.
http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/beef-products/3478/2That throws off the balance a bit, but not too bad. Those things really are high in omega 6s though.
I can up my salmon intake since 3 oz contains 1.2 g of omega 3's and only 175 mg of omega 6's, a perfect way to make up for the extra omega 6 from the nut. Salmon has 30 mcg of selenium also, so I may be careful with that and only end up eating only a half a brazil nut a day.
Maybe it won't be a big deal as beef meat has selenium also. Like I said, experimentation.
Thanks for the input everyone, it gets me to learn more and solidify the "program"
