Brazil nuts are healthy as long as they're eaten in moderation.

When you eat too many Brazil Nuts you could get radiation poisoning and even intake too much selenium, known as selenosis especially when you're taking some selenium supplements.

This can lead to hair loss or even brittle nails. '

And if you eat more than 6 Brazil Nuts in a day then you could get radiation poisoning which could lead to death.
