Selenium is a trace element and antioxidant, useful in protecting cells. A study in the United States at the University of Arizona found that selenium could have led to a reduction of risk of prostate cancer in those men who were deficient in selenium (though a recent study showed no reduction in risk when taken as a supplement). Selenium is found in foods such as:
Bread
Brazil nuts
Fish
Meat (especially kidneys)
Eggs
