Brazil nuts contain exceptionally high levels of selenium. Adequate selenium foods in the diet help prevent coronary artery disease, liver cirrhosis and cancers. The nuts are expecially high in mono-unsaturated fats which help lower LDL or "bad cholesterol" and increase HDL or "good cholesterol" in the blood.
