[cancercured] Re: For Arlyn---Selenium not necessary-Raw Food?

The loss, if it occurs, could be due to the selenium being cooked OUT of the food (i.e., into the surrounding water).

It might conceiveably also be possible that the absorbability of the selenium is affected in some way by changes in the food.

The selenium itself could not be destroyed except by an nuclear reaction.
