Obesity prevalence in 1991 was 22% which means that 78% were not obese. If excessive intake of LA is a significant cause of obesity, then it makes sense that those with above average LA intake would be the ones most likely to become obese. <br /><br />It therefor seems that the egg story is not related to the association between LA intake and obesity. The egg story does suggest that there is no correlation between dietary cholesterol and heart disease.<br /><br />It seems that at the time that Kern did his study it was not known that elevated serum cholesterol results in an increase in the number LDL receptors in the liver which removes cholesterol from the bloodstream and turns it into bile, thereby modulating serum cholesterol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-30190333128550941412012-10-29T13:12:43.635-07:002012-10-29T13:12:43.635-07:00If 400 mcg selenium causes selenosis, why are ther...If 400 mcg selenium causes selenosis, why are there no recorded cases from eating brazil nuts?<br />I think you need closer to 850mcg for some time (see below). <br />But it would be more toxic to people on low protein diets. (selenocysteine competes with cysteine)<br />Some supplemental forms may be more toxic than others, but food may be relatively safe.<br />http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/minerals/selenium/<br /><br />Toxicity<br /><br />Although selenium is required for health, like other nutrients, high doses of selenium can be toxic. Acute and fatal toxicities have occurred with accidental or suicidal ingestion of gram quantities of selenium. Clinically significant selenium toxicity was reported in 13 individuals after taking supplements that contained 27.3 milligrams (27,300 mcg) per tablet due to a manufacturing error. Chronic selenium toxicity (selenosis) may occur with smaller doses of selenium over long periods of time. The most frequently reported symptoms of selenosis are hair and nail brittleness and loss. Other symptoms may include gastrointestinal disturbances, skin rashes, a garlic breath odor, fatigue, irritability, and nervous system abnormalities. In an area of China with a high prevalence of selenosis, toxic effects occurred with increasing frequency when blood selenium concentrations reached a level corresponding to an intake of 850 mcg/day. The Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) of the Institute of Medicine recently set the tolerable upper intake level (UL) for selenium at 400 mcg/day in adults based on the prevention of hair and nail brittleness and loss and early signs of chronic selenium toxicity (15). The UL of 400 mcg/day for adults (see table below) includes selenium obtained from food, which averages about 100 mcg/day for adults in the U.S., as well as selenium from supplements.Puddleghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953398103675945541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-53244938858200346762012-10-29T13:01:03.236-07:002012-10-29T13:01:03.236-07:00This is great Ned, a post I will read and reread.
