Selenium May Reduce Colon Cancer Risk
Study Findings:
- High levels of selenium in the blood may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
- Selenium is a trace mineral found in meats, grains, seafood and some nuts. However, how much you get varies according to where you live, because different areas have different concentrations of selenium in the soil. Those who live in areas where selenium intake is low have higher rates of colorectal and other cancers.
- Selenium may protect against not only colon cancer but also prostate cancer and lung cancer.
