Selenium has previously been associated with cancer protection, with several studies showing that it may help combat prostate cancer. However past research on selenium and colorectal cancer has yielded mixed results.
Researchers from the University of Arizona say however that these studies may have been too small to track the mineral's impact.
To gain better insight into the selenium's anti-cancer role, they pooled data from three completed clinical trials of colorectal adenoma: the Wheat Bran Fiber Trial, the Polyp Prevention Trial, and the Polyp Prevention Study, each with several hundred participants. Read More...
