Dietary selenium levels needed to maintain balance in North American adults consuming self-selected diets.
TLDR
The levels of dietary selenium reported here as necessary to maintain balance in North American adults are considerably higher than those previously reported as needed for balance in adult women from New Zealand, a country where low selenum status is common.About:

Selenium in human health and disease.

TL;DR: The relationships between selenium intake/status and health, or risk of disease, are complex but require elucidation to inform clinical practice, to refine dietary recommendations, and to develop effective public health policies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selenium in global food systems.
TL;DR: Low Se status is likely to contribute to morbidity and mortality due to infectious as well as chronic diseases, and increasing Se intakes in all parts of the world can be expected to reduce cancer rates.

New hypotheses for the health-protective mechanisms of whole-grain cereals: what is beyond fibre?
TL;DR: Benefits of nutrigenomics to study complex physiological effects of the ‘whole-grain package’, and the most promising ways for improving the nutritional quality of cereal products are discussed.

TL;DR: Teaching of nutrition will be necessary to expand teaching of nutrition into undergraduate and postgraduate medical curricula to prevent health damage due to inadequate intake of trace elements as well as uncontrolled intake of freely available preparations sold as supplements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Essentiality of selenium in the human body: relationship with different diseases.
TL;DR: Results obtained in several animal and epidemiological studies have indicated that Se could constitute a dietary factor with protective action against several degenerative diseases.

TL;DR: At present supplementation by the general population is not justified, but may be necessary for certain vulnerable groups such as patients on restricted diets, and the most effective means of supplementation for increasing the Se status of New Zealanders is under study.

TL;DR: Three groups of 10 men of low selenium status were given 200 micrograms Se/day as Serich wheat, Se-rich yeast, or sodium selenate for 11 wk to determine the covertibility of tissue Se stores to biologically active Se and platelet GSH-Px was higher in the wheat and yeast groups than in the selenates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative selenium metabolism in normal New Zealand women.
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that the minimum dietary requirement of Se for the maintenance of normal human health is probably not more than 20 μg/d.

Selenium balance in young men during selenium depletion and repletion.
TL;DR: If the gastrointestinal absorption of the food Se in North Americans and New Zealanders is similar (80%), young North American men need a dietary Se intake of about 70 micrograms/day to replace losses and maintain body stores.
