The trace element Selenium (Se)has been known to cause major health problems in livestock and man in soils which are rich i this mineral [Birringer, M., Pilawa, S. and Flohe, L. (2002]). Due to this asssociation of selenium rich soils with these health problems, the beneficial role of this element was severly overlooked until the 1950's.
The effects of Selenium, an essential nutrient with anti-carcinogenic properties, are mediated by Selenium Binding Proteins. (
