SELECT TRIAL used Selenomethionine Instead of High-Selenium Yeast, SelenoExcell(R) - Previous Research shown to reduce Cancers
FRESNO, Calif., Oct. 29 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Cypress Systems, Inc, a Fresno CA based biotechnology company, emphasizes that the SELECT TRIAL results - that were announced yesterday - used a form of selenium known as selenomethionine. The SELECT TRIAL found no effects of either selenomethionine or vitamin E on the incidence of prostate cancer. See Related Website at www.cypsystems.com .
The results of the SELECT TRIAL are consistent with previous animal studies. For example, Dr. David McCormick at the Experimental Toxicology and Carcinogenesis Division, IIT Research Institute in Chicago found no effects with selenomethionine supplementation on the prevention of prostate cancer in rats (Eur Urol 1999;35:464-467).
Such negative findings have not been observed for other forms of selenium. For example, research at Purdue University found SelenoExcell(R) High-Selenium Yeast to be more effective than selenomethionine in the reducing DNA damage in canine prostate cells (Waters et al, J. Natl Cancer Inst (2003); [...]
