4 nuts that can damage your brain (and 4 that protect it from dementia)

 

3. Cashews (when highly processed or fried)

Commercially produced cashews are often fried in low-quality oils. This increases their content of oxidized fats, which promote systemic inflammation.
Risk:  inflammatory processes that affect cognitive function.

4. Brazil nuts in excessive quantities

Although nutritious, they contain very high levels of  selenium . Excessive selenium can cause hormonal imbalances, nervousness, and memory problems.
Risk:  selenium toxicity if consumed frequently in large quantities.
