Selenium-based Antioxidants vs. Colon/Prostate Cancer

seleniumIt would appear the Cancer Institute of Italy, based in Genoa has brought forth findings that may or may not be enough science to launch a new wave of research into the mineral selenium’s ability to prevent prostate cancer and reduce the number of colon polyp reoccurances.

While there is accepted science on the mineral’s potential to reduce the incidents of prostate cancer, the recent double blind study involving 400 subjects and a 40% reduction in reoccuring polyps has been met with much debate and skeptisism. One things for sure, there is enough evidence over the last 50 years to suggest that making selenium part of a man’s daily multi-mineral is well justified.
