    For some reason, the quote from DrWeil.com, describing the
    potentially beneficial nature of selenium, did not appear with my
    posting. Here it is again-- 

          Science and Supplement News: 
          Selenium May Help Lower Colon Cancer Risk 

          Results of a recent study suggest that high blood levels of
          selenium protect against the recurrence of colon cancer and
          might help prevent the disease in the first place. Researchers
          at the University of Arizona in Tucson combined data from
          three clinical trials to analyze what effect selenium might
          have had. They found that colon cancer patients who had the
          highest blood levels of selenium were 44 percent less likely
          to suffer a recurrence than those with the lowest blood
          levels. None of the patients were taking dietary supplements
          that contained selenium. The researchers commented that the
          results suggest taking selenium supplements could protect
          against colon cancer but weren't able to ascertain from the
          study what form would be best or the amount that would be most
          helpful. However, those issues may be resolved by results of
          an ongoing prevention trial involving 35,000 participants. The
          findings linking blood levels of selenium with colon cancer
          recurrence were published in the Nov. 17, 2004 issue of the
          Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
