Does the Mineral Selenium Lower Cancer Risk?

Over 1.5 Million Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer each year. Selenium may lower the risk of cancer according to a new study. Australian and Dutch researchers report that higher blood levels of Selenium may reduce skin cancer by about 60 percent.

“Relatively high serum Selenium levels of between 1.3 and 2.8 micromoles per liter were associated with approximately 60 decrease in subsequent tumor incidence of both BCC and SCC,” they wrote in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

Dr. Joel Wallach BS., D.V.M., N.D. was successful in seeking a Health Claim for General Cancer Reduction with the FDA for Selenium. Selenium is the only mineral at this time that has a FDA Authorized Health Claim for General Cancer.
