Selenium toxicity is rare in the U.S. The few reported cases have been associated with industrial accidents and a manufacturing error that led to an excessively high dose of selenium in a supplement [63,64]. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences has set a tolerable upper intake level (UL) for selenium at 400 micrograms per day for adults to prevent the risk of developing selenosis [12]. Table 4 lists ULs for selenium, in micrograms per day, for infants, children, and adults.
WARNING
PUBLIC NOTICE
IF YOU ARE TAKING TOTAL BODY FORMULA, LOT # 4016801, 4016802, 4024801, 4031801, 4031802 or 4031803 PLEASE STOP TAKING IT NOW AND CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN. THERE IS EXCESSIVE SELENIUM IN THE PRODUCT THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS.
When you begin feeding babies you start with one food at a time.
Why on earth would someone take a product like this where you are slamming your system with multiple elements at once is beyond me.
It should always be suggested that you introduce one at a time, to see how the body reacts to it.
but back in the Ice Ages, they didn't have smog or pollution, or cars, factories or any of the other stuff that we have now, either to contaminate the food supply......and that has made a difference, too.
Don't you wonder how we're going to evolve in another couple of million years??? It strikes me as curious...........onder:
