• Selenium concentration in wheat grain: Is there sufficient genotypic variation to use in breeding? (2005, background): “Soils are frequently low in available Se, and hence the food systems of many countries are deficient in Se (Combs, 2001; Lyons et al., 2003; Rayman, 2002).”
• Agronomic biofortification of Brassica with selenium—enrichment of SeMet and its identification in Brassica seeds and meal (2010, background): “Moreover, dietary Se concentrations that are either too low or too high can be lethal to humans and animals (Combs 2001).”
• Selenium in cancer prevention: a review of the evidence and mechanism of action (2005, background): “Whether the intake of Se is adequate is, however, questionable in much of Europe and some other parts of the world.”
• The potential of lentil (Lens culinaris L.) as a whole food for increased selenium, iron, and zinc intake: preliminary results from a 3 year study (2011, background): “Globally, 30‐100 million people are estimated to be Se-deficient, mainly due to low concentrations of Se in commonly eaten foods ( Combs 2001; Ellis and Salt 2003; Spallholz et al. 2004).”
• Food-chain selenium and human health: emphasis on intake (2008, neutral): “(1989)((28)) (cited by Rayman, 2004((7))) Austria 48 Sima & Pfannhauser (1998)((29)) (cited by Combs, 2001((26))) Belgium 28–61 Robberecht & Deelstra (1994)((30)) (cited by Rayman, 2004((7))) Brazil 28–37 Maihara et al.”
• From Selenium to Selenoproteins: Synthesis, Identity, and Their Role in Human Health (2007, neutral): “According to recent studies, many countries in Europe and other parts of the world still have a dietary selenium intake below what is recommended by health regulatory bodies (75, 263).”
• Selenium in Human Health and Disease (2011, neutral): “As with global estimates of selenium intake, there is very wide geographical variation in plasma and serum selenium concentrations (87, 130, 297, 377, 410).”
