What I don't grasp is why e.g. selenium supplementation has not become an important public policy initiative. The soil of the British Isles is virtually devoid of selenium; one direct effect of selenium deficiency is depression of mood.
Near as I can tell, they won't do it because it might be toxic, even though the toxic threshold is many times the net food and supplement intake that ought to be had. They'd rather you used Paxil, I guess.
