What are the natural sources of Selenium?

[Zurabpavle]

As all thi salt in Georgia is Iodized, I prefered to do my
best and recieved some Natrium Bromid mixture, I also use
toothpast with Lacalut fluor and for more safety need to know:
what are thr natural sources for Selenium?

Hurrump, spit.

Might I suggest you use modern chemical nomenclature.

As to selenium, it is an interesting element in that plant
food sources even in the same variety vary wide depending on
the soil content on which the plant was grown.

Sea foods would contain much more consistent levels of
selenium. Tuna is a decent source as are some other fish.
Brazil nuts can be very high in Se but I understand this isn't
dependable as it depends as I indicated earlier on the soil
were that plant grew.

Wheat from the Dakotas is relatively high in Se and wheat from
Washington State is often low in Se. Most European wheat is
quite low in Se.

That is "off the top of my head", do a web search.

When grown on selenium-rich soils, astragalus can concentrate
enough selenium to cause selenium poisoning ("blind
staggers") in livestock permitted to eat it. It's used in
Chinese folk medicine.

As with all plant sources of selenium, selenium content will
vary widely based on soil content, growing conditions, and
time of year. Because of its high toxicity, uncontrolled
sources of selenium are not a good idea.

Selenium and Diabetes: More Bad News for Supplements

Joachim Bleys, MD, MPH; Ana Navas-Acien, MD, PhD; and Eliseo
Guallar, MD, DrPH

21 August 2007 | Volume 147 Issue 4 | Pages 271-272

In this issue, Stranges and colleagues (1) report findings
from the NPC (Nutritional Prevention of Cancer) trial that
show an increased risk for diabetes among participants
randomly assigned to receive supplements with 200 µg of
selenium daily for
7.7 years compared with placebo. This effect was largely
limited to participants in the top tertile of plasma
selenium levels at baseline (>121.6 ng/mL). In this group,
the hazard ratio for incident diabetes in persons using
selenium supplements compared with placebo was 2.70 (95% CI,
1.30 to 5.61). The NPC trial is the largest and longest
available experimental study of selenium supplements
compared with placebo.

Effects of Long-Term Selenium Supplementation on the Incidence
of Type 2 Diabetes

A Randomized Trial

Natarajan, MS; Richard P. Donahue, PhD; Maurizio Trevisan, MD;

Ceriello, MD; and Mary E. Reid, PhD

Background: Findings from animal models suggest that selenium
supplementation improves glucose metabolism.

Objective: To examine the effect of long-term selenium
supplementation on the incidence of type 2 diabetes.

Design: Secondary analysis of a randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled trial.

Setting: Areas of low selenium consumption of the eastern
United States.

Patients: 1202 persons seen in dermatology clinics who did not
have type 2 diabetes at baseline.

Intervention: Oral administration of selenium, 200 µg/d,
or placebo.

Measurements: Incidence of type 2 diabetes.

Results: During an average follow-up of 7.7 years (SD, 2.7),
type 2 diabetes developed in 58 selenium recipients and 39
placebo recipients (incidence,
8.6 cases per 1000 person-years vs. 8.4 cases per 1000
person-years, respectively; hazard ratio, 1.55 [95% CI, 1.03
to 2.33]). The lack of benefit of selenium supplementation
on the incidence of type 2 diabetes persisted in analyses
stratified by age, sex, body mass index, and smoking status.
An exposure–response gradient was found across tertiles of
baseline plasma selenium level, with a statistically
significantly increased risk for type 2 diabetes in the
highest tertile of baseline plasma selenium level (hazard
ratio, 2.70 [CI, 1.30 to 5.61]).

Limitations: Diabetes was a secondary outcome in the parent
trial. Diagnoses of diabetes were self-reported but were
validated in most participants. The sample was mostly older
and white.

Conclusions: Selenium supplementation does not seem to prevent
type 2 diabetes, and it may increase risk for the disease.

I'm very sad all this sources are not available here at
Georgia, while Sodium Bromide caused some bronchitis. I think
shrinks have some usefull remedies and maybe war is one (from
my natural (materialistic) metaphysical views).
