IN DEPTH:

One study from Cornell University in New York found that a supplement of 200 mcg’s per day cut cancer rates in half. Scientists in Arizona gave a group of men and women selenium supplements and gave another group placebos over a 7-year period. They discovered that the group taking selenium were 42 percent less likely to develop cancer. “Laboratory studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill first suggested that selenium is the switch that triggers a Jekell and Hyde personality in viruses. Subsequent studies at the University of Georgia in Athens indicated that selenium depletion in a cell may be what throws a switch on HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and launches that particular viral terrorist on a cellular rampage that wipes out its human host.”_*1

Selenium is a potent antioxidant which bonds with unstable molecules in our cells preventing them, researchers believe, from damaging cells and potentially causing cancer and premature aging. “Selenium is an antioxidant that helps prevent chromosome breakage in tissue culture.”_*2

In Norfolk, England the people are said to be among the longest-lived people in their country and scientist believe it is due to high concentrations of selenium in their soil. Researchers found that selenium can also improve how well you think and feel though they’re not sure why. Scientists in Brussels found that taking selenium daily improved immune system function by nearly 80 percent.
