A risk-benefit assessment of dietary selenium and its implications in preschool children’s growth performance in Taiwan
Moderate consumption of fish and eggs should be encouraged to support optimal growth and neurodevelopment. Overall, dietary patterns of Taiwanese preschool children provide beneficial levels of Se and ω-3 fatty acids while maintaining low Hg-related risks, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring of Hg levels in locally consumed foods to ensure dietary safety.
