That article didnt make too much sense. Is it high selenium or low selenium that put people at risk?

From the article, one can tell the writer is not versed in writing scientific literature.

Good to see you too! Many people from old rcb changed their monikers when they moved over except a few of us.
Journalism in kenya is full of disappointment nobody ever edits or verifies information #fakenews#junkscience

Possibly true in my home area. They need to check for goiter - possibly low iodine - low selenium.

I am yet to understand why there is no public outrage or talk all over despite this cancer thing ravaging all villages.
Also that it is attacking even old women who haven't had much of processed foods.

Should be outrage in my place esp Konoin - I know many young people - most young ladies - including my relatives who lost live due throat cancer. I am glad they are nailing the cause. Now we need to get selenium and idioine supplement to the people.

First, a need for epidemiological studies.

But even for the likes of more virulent Ebola we work as per the situation.
