低硒水平與癌症增加
Taiwan: Low Dietary Selenium Levels linked to Increase in Cancer
 by Dr Rajendra Sharma
The College and School of Public health and the NationalTaiwanUniversity have been conducting experimental research which has linked a low dietary selenium intake with increased cancer. They studied the association between plasma selenium levels and risk of liver cancer in chronic carriers of hepatitis B and/or C virus.
一所台灣的公共衛生研究所和國立台灣大學一直在進行相關實驗研究具有低硒飲食攝取與增加癌症的關聯性。他們研究了血漿中硒水平之間的關聯和風險肝癌，慢性乙肝攜帶者和/或C病毒。
Blood was drawn from 7,342 men in Taiwan between 1988- 92. Cases were followed-up for an average of 5.3 years, the results showed that average selenium levels were significantly lower in the liver cancer cases than in the hepatitis-positive patients. The research found a significant positive correlation between plasma selenium levels and liver cancer.
血液是來自台灣的7342個男性從1988至1992年之間，隨訪平均5.3年，結果發表，研究發現，血液中硒含量平均明顯降低與羅換肝炎與肝癌的比例是一致的。這也代表者台灣的土壤中硒含量已經明顯不足。
