I think the subject is greater in scope than just having a selenium deficiency, Dr. D has factored in each person's nutritional requirements into their SWAMI report. Although thanks for sharing that video.. It gave me a greater awareness to eat foods high in natural selenium.

It's genetic. If a person has a long history of cancer in the family, they will likely get it somewhere in their body. Selenium (and of course the healthy personalized diet) may help keep the breast cancer gene from turning on there and in other parts of the body.
