    This was really good info. A lot of other channels just tell you selenium is important, but without finding an optimal dose, it's hard to get the most out of their recommendations. Combining your data with the studies is a practical and convincing way to get the answer. Thanks for the video!
  • @helenbroadfoot8511
    Thanks Mike, I've been supplementing and will now lower the dose for sure. Great info, thanks for sharing.
  • @zulkiflicurran94

    Just to update, I stopped eating the Brazils, checked daily supplement and found it contained 200mcg! so stopped that for 7 days. I didn't stop eating steak and eggs but did stop the sardines. Toe swelling reduced within 5 days, not visible after 7 days. Stinky pee reduced within same time frame and now 'normal' levels. I have found real difficulty in sleeping for periods longer than 3 hours though. Going back to 200mcg every 2 days and staying off the Brazil nuts now until clear and stable.... thanks again.

    Thank you for your detailed research and analysis. I just got my selenium blood lab results back and they are too high. I will be cutting back now.
  • @spandon
    Brilliant work, many thanks. It's given me some strong clues for some symptoms developed over the last few months, particularly around high uric acid levels (stinky pee etc)... just the last couple of weeks have developed gout like symptoms with swollen itchy toes (just on one foot oddly).. Compared to rda's I've been off the scale! Maybe 50g per day in Brazil's with dark low sugar chocolate, a tin of sardines per day some days, red meat (inc pork) twice a day and at least three eggs per day.... every day. Damn I need to reduce and detox asap..... thanks again....
  • @azizkairiden7277
    Thanks Mike! Great video! Do you take breaks in your Selenium diet?
  • @JohnBlatt71
    Which supplement form of selenium would you recommend taking if you cannot get it from diet?
  • @surfreadjumpsleep
    Hi Michael. How do you avoid BPA inside the sardine tins? Or is BPA something that is overblown? Or do you eat 'em fresh? In Morocco you can get fresh grilled sardines for something like a dollar.. maybe two?
