Environmental conditions and agricultural practices have a profound influence on the selenium content of many foods. Tables 48, 49 and 50 illustrate the wide range of selenium content of the principal food groups and the variability in the selenium content of individual foods. This variability is exceeded only by that found in the iodine content of foods. Geographic differences in the content and availability of selenium from soils to food crops and animal products have a marked effect on the selenium status of entire communities.

For example, the distribution of Keshan disease and Kaschin-Beck disease in China reflects the distribution of soils from which selenium is poorly available to rice, maize, wheat, and pasture grasses (Table 48). Cereal crop selenium contents of 3–7 ng/g are not uncommon (3and it has been suggested that <10 ng/g for grain selenium and <3 ng/g for water-soluble soil selenium could be used as indexes to define deficient areas (19).
Fluctuations in the selenium status of many communities in northern Europe reflect the intrinsically low selenium content of its glacial soils and the extent to which selenium supplementation of fertilisers has been successful in increasing the selenium content of cereal grains, milk, and other animal products.

Deliberate importation of cereals from areas with relatively high available selenium in soil has also occurred or been recommended in some areas of Finland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom after steady declines in the selenium status of some communities were noted. Conversely, low-selenium grains are being selected in China, India, and Venezuela to reduce the risks of selenosisComprehensive data summarising the selenium contents of staple foods are available elsewhere (e.g., 45).

Reports from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) provide representativedata on daily total selenium intakes for more than 40 countries (see reference 8, p 215–217)The great influence of dietary and geographic variables on selenium status is evident from recent summaries of data describing national and regional differences for the selenium content of human and formula milks, diets, and human serum (Tables 48, 49, 50 and 51).
