SELENIUM AND PREVENTION OF CANCER


Selenium is an essential trace element that is necessary to maintain healthy immune function. It is a vital antioxidant, especially when combined with vitamin E. It protects the immune system by preventing the formation of free radicals, which can damage the body. Selenium can be found in meat and grains, Brazil nuts, brewer’s yeast, broccoli, brown rice, dairy products, garlic, molasses, and onions. Low dietary intake of selenium is associated with increased incidence of several cancers, including lung, colorectal, skin, and prostate. Several studies have suggested that selenium is inversely related to cancer risk at several sites.
