Selenocysteine effects[edit]

"However, the incorporation of selenomethionine into tissue proteins and keratin in horses causes alkali disease."

Aren't you actually talking about selenocysteine effects? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.111.5.34 (talk) 18:27, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Potential Toxicity[edit]

An editor with potential WP:COI removed the contents of this section in this edit. I am restoring the subject text. I invite comment on whether the content itself meets WP:V given the speculation in the sources referenced. ChrisBrown (talk) 06:42, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for editing without making myself familiar with Wiki policies and procedures first. I should have disclosed that I have had a professional affiliation with the company referenced for a number of years. And now I know the talk page is the place to address content concerns. I'm new at this, and I hope the issues I address below are acceptable to discuss here.

I believe the content under discussion is problematic for the reason you identified: speculation, as well as the assumption of cause and effect without evidence to support that conclusion. Are media reports written before evidence is gathered and evaluated considered reliable sources of information by Wiki?

So at this point I believe using this incident under heading Potential Toxicity is indeed based upon speculation, not facts or investigation. There is no evidence - just news of a substance and a death.

Couple of problems with 3D molecule image[edit]

In the 3D molecule image, there are three Hydogens attached to the Nitrogen when there should only be two.
Neither of the two Oxygens in the image have a Hydrogen attached to them when one of them should have a Hydrogen attached to it.
