The Claim
Dietary sources of selenium include organ meats, seafood, eggs, dairy, nuts, and cruciferous vegetables.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Selenium is a mineral found in certain foods such as organ meats, seafood, eggs, dairy products, nuts, and cruciferous vegetables.

Dietary sources of selenium include organ meats, seafood, eggs, dairy, nuts, and cruciferous vegetables.
What the research says
3 studiesThis study found that people who ate more fish, dairy, and nuts had higher levels of selenium in their blood, which means those foods are good sources of selenium—just like the claim says.
This study found that nuts and fish are big sources of selenium in people’s diets, which matches what the claim says. It also found meat is a major source, which includes organ meats, so the claim is backed up.
Study: Selenium Bioaccessibility and Bioavailability in Se-Enriched Food Supplements
This study didn't look at the foods listed in the claim, but it did check if selenium from yeast (a natural source) can be absorbed by the body—and it can. So it doesn't contradict the claim that selenium comes from foods like nuts and seafood.
