Skin Cancer & Meat
In addition to the common known preventions to Skin Cancer like staying out of the sun during the peak hours, and using sunscreen and protective clothing, the eating habits (diet) can reduce risk of skin cancer.
A diet rich in meat and fat increases the risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin as compared to a diet rich in vegetables and fruit
Researchers from the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Brisbane found that people who have a history of skin cancer, can benefit by avoiding fatty foods, overly processed foods, and foods with high amounts of sugar. The association with green leafy vegetables mostly explained this protective effect. No association was seen between dietary patterns and cutaneous basal cell carcinoma, another common form of skin cancer.
