Fatty Diet Not Linked to Increased Risk of Skin Cancer
According to a study newly published in the open access journal BMC Cancer, eating fatty food does not seem to increase the risk of skin cancer; contradicting previous research. This latest study even showed that high fat intake may even play a protective role in the development of non-melanoma skin cancer.
Skin melanoma is the aggressive skin cancer that spreads to other tissues while non-melanoma skin cancers are skin cancers that are less likely to spread to other tissues. The research team from Menzies Research Institute in Hobart, Australia and Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne found no evidence that high fat intake increases the risk of developing melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers.
