I’ve always loved nuts of almost any kind, but a number of them are potentially toxic (I describe two more later in the list), and this certainly applies to brazil nuts – one of my favorites.

Believe it or not, but brazil nuts are one of the most radioactive foods on the planet. In fact they’re about 1000 times more radioactive than most other foods.
