Selenium & colon cancer
Nutrition Action Healthletter, May, 2005
People with higher blood levels of selenium had a 34 percent lower risk of colon cancer than people with lower selenium levels, according to researchers who pooled data from three studies on more than 1,700 people.
What to do: Seafood is a good source of selenium, but amounts in plant foods depend on how much selenium is in the soil in which the foods are grown. To play it safe, look for a multivitamin that has at least 55 mcg of selenium (that's the latest recommended level).
